Are NUK teats really slow?

[Fevrier]

I am starting to top up my 8 month old dd at bedtime with formula and she now accepts the NUK bottle with brown latex teat - but she fell asleep with hardly drinking any as it's so slow. I am sure I bought the medium 6month plus teat.

Does anyone have any experience of this?

It also kept collapsing in her mouth as she sucks hards and not enough milk flows.

I'd love to stick with NUK as she likes them but I don't want her falling asleep on them after 20 minutes of slow slow sucking and nhardly any milk.

when you turn it upside down does the milk come out? we have the clear teat and quite a lot comes out when I do this( less than a freeflow cup but more than drips). I don't know if the colour of the teat makes a difference, but my NUK has more come out than a avent bottle or a tommy tippy bottle. Maybe theres a design fault in one of ours :)
You could get a sterile needle and make the hole bigger

I seem to recall we had the same problem with the teat collapsing when we first started using them but switching to the silicone ones instead of the latex ones seemed to help iirc. Also I think you need to make sure that the air hole on the side isn't blocked. I give it a quick poke with a skewer every now and again to make sure. DD2 is now 14m old and we're still using the original first size teats. She seems happy enough with them so I saw no reason to switch to a larger size.

These were the only teats I could get dd to drink from and they did collapse completely but she managed to down her milk quite successfully still. She was older though (12mo). Maybe she's just a bit sleepy? Does she wake looking for milk not long after falling asleep?

Oh thanks everyone - not sure what it is then. Now she's refusing it anyway (suspect a little unwell) so will experiment a bit more when she is better.
