My baby girl is 2 months old today and I have noticed over the past week she is sucking the teat quite hard so it makes a kind of clicking noise when she's really hungry. She also sucks a few times said she's trying to get more milk before she swallows it. Does it sound like it's time to change the teat from slow flow to medium? The tommee tippee guideline says 3 months + but I know that is just a guideline. Do they sound like signs to look for? Thank you

I changed teats when I thought my LO was ready. Mostly because of the bored look during feeding....

It sounds like your LO could be ready, so I would give it a go. If she splutters or leaks milk, you can always switch back.

My LO is sucking the teat so hard it's sort of bending it inwards/to the side... But she's only a month old so unsure if I should move her up. I guess it's worth a try. Also on the tommee tippee bottles.

Thank you. Have changed to medium flow and she seems to be a lot better with it :) x
