Question about NUK bottles

6 replies

1Wanda1 · 23/05/2019 07:55

I am thinking of trying NUK bottles for my 4 month old BF baby. The teats come in 0-6 months or 6-12. Should I go straight for the 6-12? 0-6 seems an oddly wide bracket as surely a 3 or 4 month old baby needs a faster flow than a Newborn?

We have been using MAM bottles, which she took initially from 2 weeks to 8 weeks but then started refusing and so in desperation I want to try other bottles.

I would use 0-6 months I think

NUK do 0-6 with a small hole (has an S on it) and 0-6 with a medium hole (M). You can buy the teats separately but the larger bottles have the medium size as standard I think.
DS is 4.5 months and we use the medium one.

Thanks SoyDora, I wouldn't have been able to tell that from the way they are presented on Amazon, so am glad I asked. I'll order the large size then.

Before you order have a look at dr brown bottles, which are meant to be really good for combined feeding.

This time we ordered the NUK and have used them before but mainly after the BF stage, this time used them for some expressed milk and they are not working - But the Dr Brown has been amazing - think it's because they can control the flow on Dr Brown like they do with BF.

Interesting trampolonebouncer thanks. I used Dr Brown for my last baby, and found them great, but that was a few years ago and this time I've read a lot of reviews saying they leak a lot. Have you found that to be a problem?

Not at all - only have one bottle and I got it from amazon & it is fine the vent thing works well & but the NUK ones he cant cope with.
