XP: for those who breastfeed and supplement

teshy1 · May 2011

I nurse DD for all but one feeding per day. She generally takes her bottle quite quickly, since she's used to nursing, which takes more effort. What I'm wondering is when to switch nipples for her bottle feeding; I'm still using a slow-flow nipple, but wondering if I should try a medium-flow nipple now that she's 4 months. Any thoughts?

it is better to continue using the newborn nipple for as long as possible. Occasionally a baby will begin to cave the sides in on the nipple and they need it sized up, but some stay on the newborn size until they wean from the bottle.
