Have been using No1 Tommee Tippee teets but when DD got to 3 mths i changed to No2 teats medium flow teats as she was having Hungry baby Formula and this is thick so i thought would flow better through tese teats. However, she is refusing teh bottle now. could it be the teat?? would she evn know. could it feel that different???
Dont know whetehr to perservere or go back to No.1 teats??

I use the TT variflow teats pretty much from about three months when I put DD on hungry baby formula. She is 14 months now and still uses them. Try going back to no. 1 and see what happens.

Don't worry, I didn't know what they were either! Variflow teats have a cross in them, rather than just a hole so they open up wider depending on how hard she sucks. Means she has some control over the flow. You get them anywhere you would get the other ones.

hungry baby formula isnt thicker than the ordinary milk so I would go back to No1 teats and she how she gets on.

maybe she doesn't like the taste of the hungry baby formula rather than not liking the teat iyswim? Could you try her back on her normal formula and see how she gets on . Think hungry baby formula is harder to digest so might also be making her feel fuller for longer?

She's been having hungry baby formula for most of her feeds for weeks and thsi has never been a prob. although thinking about it maybe im trying to feed her again too soon, you have a point there - dont they say that they 'drop a feed' at some point...maybe its that?
its such a guessing game!!!
