I'm still breastfeeding my 8 month old, but we give her a bottle for her last feed at night before bed, and have been for a few months now,
my question is should I increase the teat size on the bottle, she is still on the newborn one with a really slow flow.. she has no problem switching between breast and bottle as long as it's milk she is happy, but I am wondering if I increase the flow in the bottle she may get a bit lazy with the boob any ideas/experience with this...just she is a super quick breasfeeder and always has been about 10 mins max and she is done but it takes her about 3o mins to get through 150mls bottle... ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

Hiya, Paediatrician told us it should take baby about 10-15 mins to take 150mls (at 3 or so months)...not sure if that helps as I see this is a few months old :) |
