Babies: 6 - 9 Months

Fast Flow Nipples

When did you move LO up to these? She seems to be doing OK on the medium ones, but it occasionally takes a good amount of time for her to finish her bottle. Is it even necessary unless she's struggling to get her formula finished?

Re: Fast Flow Nipples

  • DS2 is a messy and lazy eater and is still on stage 1 because he would choke if we moved him up. LOL.

  • DS still uses slow flow nipples. Fast flow makes a mess for him and honestly, I would rather not have a sticky mess if I can avoid it.

  • We switched from medium to fast flow at around 3 months. With the slow and medium flow he had a hard time eating and the nipples kept getting clogged.

    I just recently moved DS up to a medium flow.  He just got to where he isn't choking on it.  I would try a medium flow and see how it goes.

  • Moved to all fast flow this weekend. We had only 2 bottles of fast and the others were medium. She got the hang of it but can have some lazy and sloppy messes sometimes.

  • C has been using fast flow for months now. I use it mainly in MOTN. Its a tri-cut nipple and she downs a bottle in just a few mins. Occasionally she spits a bit but usually shes fine.

  • DD went from slow to medium flow nipples at 3 months old and the transition was great. No problems. When I tried to change from medium to fast, it didn't work out. It looked like she was choking on it, coming out too fast. It only worked a couple of times when she was really really hungry. She's almost 9 months old and still on medium flow. She does great with it, so I moving up to fast flow isn't important to me. 
  • We just switched my DS to medium flow.  We tried it at 6 months but kept gagging.  He is teething again with tooth # 7 and wasn't taking the bottle but since we switched, there is less sucking needed so he seems much happier and he seems to be able to handle the faster flow now.

    This is us exactly. I don't think she's ever going to want the fast flow nipples. I'm a little peeved I spent 20 on all these nipples. :p
