Babies: 0 - 3 Months

When did you switch to medium flow bottle nipples?

How old was your DC?  I'm thinking it may be time for us...

Re: When did you switch to medium flow bottle nipples?

  • I tried to go to Medium to add cereal for DD reflux but she gasps and chokes. So no go yet. I am also BFing and I do not want to mess with her strong draw so back to slow flow until I wean.
  • We switched @ 3 months.  He was ready...  On a side note, I tried fast flow last week just to see - NOT ready!

  • I switched at 3 months. They make a huge difference.  Feeding was dragging with the slow flow.

  • We switched to the number 2 avent ones around 2 months. She was getting really frustrated when eating and switching solved it pretty much right away!
  • DS started on medium flow in the NICU b/c it was too much work for him to use slow flow.
  • Wow, I guess my baby is a freak because she is almost 6 months and we are still using the same nipples we started with. LOL.

    She is ok with Avent stage 2 but every other brand (Playtex, Born Free) that we have she cant do medium. She hates it! She is a fast eater even with the slow flow so I guess I will just stick to them.

  • 3 months.  Still uses a slow one at her last feeding before bed though.
  • We switched at 7 weeks. He kept falling asleep during feedings and waking up two minutes later mad and hungry.

    DD#2 lost in January 2012 at 23 weeks due to anhydramnios caused by a placental abruption
  • Hmm... I have some medium flow at home and hadn't even thought to use them.  Tonight is day 1 of rice cereal... may as well through in a medium flow nipple for her bottle, too! :)
