Bottle teats- when to change?

[colette]

I have been looking out old bottles from dd(4yrs now) to use for expressed milk for ds now 9 wks . I want to use them for dh to feed expressed milk in. What sort of teats should I buy eg. fast flow or whatever else there is.He will probably only have one or two bottles a week . Can anyone advise? Thanks

Seem to remember being told that if you are still breastfeeding not to go for teats that are too fast (i.e. therefore too easy) as the baby may rapidly begin to prefer bottle to breast.
I would have thought that 2 hole teats(slow - if using Avent) would be sufficient at this stage?

Try the variable ones that way you won't have to worry about replacing them so often and can adjust them during a feed if necessary.

I found Maws resolve teats good because they have a cross shape at the top that allows the baby to dictate the flow (variable flow).

I'd go for variable flow ones too I think.

Thanks for your replies
I remember with Dd who was about 6mnths my SIL was feeding her and noticed that she was getting frustrated because I had a slow flowing teat - I hadn't even known they were different types
