Nipple flow (bottle)

Jamaicanlove

Hi everyone,I am 8 days post partum. ?I find that my DD has difficulty getting milk from slow flow nipples. ?Is it ok to use the medium flow ones? ?I have the Playtex drop in bottles and the medium flow nipples says 3+months. ?BTW, I'm pumping breast milk into the bottles for now (breast are in excruciating pain from DD sucking).

Are you planning to EP, or do you want to go back to nursing when you aren't in as much pain? If you want to continue to nurse, you should use the slow flow nipples. That way when you reintroduce the breast, your DD will be used to "working" for her food and hopefully go between bottle and breast easily.

I agree!
