Dr. Brown Bottle Users

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

If you used the standard bottles...

When your LO turned 3 months, did you switch to their level 2 nipples?  I just bought some and am having a really hard time telling the difference between level 1 and 2.  I think level 2 are slightly wider, but my DH says I am crazy and that there isn't a difference.

Any way, did you switch at 3 months or wait until 6 months?

    I switched to level 2 at 2.5 months and to level 3 at 4.5 months.

    I only use them for supplementing, but I haven't switched.  I don't want DS to become even more frustrated while BFing so I'm nervous to go to a faster flow.

    Judah was about 2 1/2 months when we switched. the only difference is that the milk comes out faster. there is a little "2" on the ridge of the nipple, that's the only way I can tell the difference.

    We switched at 3 months. Abby seemed frustrated prior to switching like it wasn't coming out fast enough for her, so we knew it was time.

    She didn't have a problem with it, and it cut feeding time virtually in half! I'm not sure when we'll switch to level three, though.

    We switched at about 3.5 months.  She kind of choked a bit the first time because it came out faster, but she got it and quickly adjusted.  The nipples should have a little 1, or 2...on the bottom.

    We just switched last week, they don't have to work as hard for the Level 2.

    We switched at around 3 months.  The difference is that the hole is a little bigger so the liquid comes out easier.

    We switched at 5 months because DD was taking 6oz bottles and didn't seem to be drinking as fast as she would have liked. It's a noticeable difference.

    I haven't switched to level 2 yet... totally forgot I could try it now! It seems to take LO forever to eat his 5 oz. Must try this tonight :)
