Stage 2/medium flow teats?
Hi Girls
Just wondering how old your lo was when you switched their teats from slow flow to medium flow teats? Can't find out anywhere and don't know what signs to look for in my baby. I was thinking that she might want a better flow as she seems to fuss over her bottle more than usual but am worried that the medium flow might be too fast and give her wind/tummy ache? Anyone have any clues?

my little boy Shea is now 6months and i've recently changed to fast flow teats.
It was something that hadn't occured to me to change. He's been on the same teats since he was born!! bless him.
Anyway he started fussing with his bottle and would take ages to drink 6-7oz, so my sister suggested I change, so I bought boots fast flow and he's been great since. He takes his bottle no problem and quickly but it doesn't afftect his wind. They'll soon let you know if its too much cause the milk will flow in their mouth too quickly and they'll cough or spit it out.
Hope this helps
Thanks for that. How old is your lo? It takes my lo about 20/30mins to take about 4/5oz, not sure if this is slow or fast? She does fall asleep towards the end sometimes. She seems to be ok to start and then she keeps spitting the teat out but when I give it her back she grabs it like she is starving and she keeps doing it till she's finished the bottle. Its weird though because she also has a habit of spitting some milk back out aswell, this is why I'm not sure about switching her teats! Proper confused!

PS she was only 5lb 13 oz at birth and i worried about moving her up to fast but it hasnt done her any harm, she is now around 17lbs at 5 1/2 months. x

Am definately going to put Bella on medium flow and see how she is off them, she's 4weeks old now. I can switch back if she doesn't like them!
Thanks!

He didn't get on with it so well the first time I tried - he coughed on the milk and got upset so I just left htem for a week and tried again and he was fine.
