NUK bottles

[Suslik]

Hi,
i am expecting my dd2 shortly. i used avent with dd1 and she was happy with it from early age. i was going to try and change to a different brand as dd1 is still on a couple bottles a day and i don't want them to get all mixed up. i was thinking NUK.

can someone fill me in on the following:

• do NUK have plastic bottles? with 2 under 2 at home last thing i want is glass bottles around, and my local chemist sells glass NUK
• with avent, there were lots of teats. 1 hole for newborn, 2 holes from 2-3 months, 3 holes from 3-4 months, etc. with NUK it seems they are saying that 1 hole is 0-6 months and 2 holes are after 6 months. is that OK? i can't imagine a newborn drinking form same teat as a 6m old?? how do people use their teats then?

thank you

Yes, Nuk do plastic bottles. Not sure about the teats though.

I used Avent too and they were great. Just a thought, but why don't you try the NUK training beaker (a 5oz NUK bottle with removable handles and a soft, beaker shaped teat) for your DC1. My DS loves them, and then you can have the flexibility of using avent all over again?

Thanks, will give it a try. i think dd1 just likes the idea of the bottle, plus i dont have that many left so benefits of re-use are not that big (lost and broken some bottles along the way).

NUK do plastic bottles and they are BPA free.

Their teats can be silicone or rubber(brown) and sized in 0-6 months and 6 months plus - in each size they have a small, medium and large teat. My new born charge was on silicone, size 0-6 month, small hole - it took over an hour to drink 2oz of EBM - so we changed to the rubber and it's dropped to 45 mins. The rubber teat is softer and I think she prefers it.

I think they can be ordered on line. MAM also does on line delivery and are very good.

Nannynz,
thank you. You mean in 0-6 months i need to check which size teat i got? small medium or large? did not see any note of that on the packaging. Are you saying that i can change from small to medium to large while still staying in the 0-6range? Does the size just mean the teat size or the number of holes/the flow rate?
