Hi
I’m hoping you knowledgeable bunch can help!
Our baby is 4 weeks tomorrow and is bottlefed. She is an absolute guzzler and finishes her bottle (if we let her) in 5-10 minutes. We try and stop her every ounce to wind her and make her slow her feeding but she ends up crying until she has her bottle back. Our HV has advised that we try a slower flow teat as ideally she should be taking 15-20 minutes to finish her bottle so clearly needs to work a bit harder for her feed (to help satisfy the sucking reflex too). We are currently using Tommee Tippee bottles with the slow flow teat (0months+). Does anyone have any recommendations for a slower flow bottle/teat combo?
P.s. please no preachy comments about breastfeeding vs bottlefeeding as it was an extremely difficult decision to make to switch to bottles at a time when unfortunately there is not a great deal of hands on support for first time mums. I’m beating myself up about it enough without any negative comments...
