New teats

My baby is 16weeks old and he is on the first size dr browns teats and he is doing ok but is it worth changing sizes to the 3month plus ones cause I've heard they take on extra wind on if they suck to hard. Thank you.

Hi I use dr browns bottles and teats for my 5 week old. I have already changed the teat size for him as I found the level 1 he was having to really work hard for the milk and he is a hungry baby and is on milk that reflects that so I changed him onto level 2 teats and they work really well for him the flow is not too fast or too slow.

Hopefully this helps xx

Def worth trying different/next teat. Only times our LO has had problems feeding it's been because the teat is too slow or they're old and 'sticky' and need replacing xx

I changed my 16 week old boys teats the other week, and noticed a difference straight away. Before that he was having to work too hard! We also use Dr Brown's! :)

With all of mine i changed teats once the wind changed.. Worth a try, they get tired of sucking so hard and end up sleeping on it x
