I breastfeed my dd (5 months). However I have a medical condition that requires me to have treatment every 2 weeks so on these days I have to give her expressed breastmilk in a bottle for 24 hours until the medication has passed through my system.

She is happy with this and its going well. However I am still using tommy tippee size 1 teats and wondered if I am wrong to continue with these? Should I move up to the next size and if so why? I know they have differentt speed flows but otherwise have no knowledge about this! Was hoping someone could advise me. She drinks quickly and consumes on average 1200mls in 24 hours. She is very happy, gaining weight well and has no problems using these bottles/teats.

I would say that if she's doing fine with what you are using, then carry on using it!

Thanks, that's what I thinking too but wasn't sure if she needed to learn a different sucking style or speed! (will save money too if I don't need to buy more teats :))
