Bottle advice - dribbly feeder!

4 replies

I have a 2 week old, she is FF and has just had her tongue-tie snipped. She is a very dribbly feeder, a lot of milk spills out under her chin and despite bibs and muslins we always get a milky sleepsuit.

I assumed it might rectify after her tongue-tie had been sorted, but she still is struggling. I'm using the Tommy Tippee anti-colic bottles due to her also being quite windy and thinking it might slow the flow.

Does anyone have any advice or recommendations for better bottles?

Thank you in advance!!!

We had the same. Have found the 150ml anti colic NUK bottles the best. I also started feeding him lying the length of my thighs and supporting his head so he’s looking straight back at me. Stopped him bouncing his head about looking around and him being straight instead of cradled seemed to give us both more control. If she starts to guzzle, pull the bottle away for a little break to allow her to regain control and swallow what’s already in her mouth. He still has the odd lazy feed in the night but in the whole these things did improve it!

Those bottles are crap. Try Mam bottles or another brand

We used MAM bottles from the start, they're anti colic too. You can get them in packs of 2 from loads of supermarkets if you want to try them.

My baby is like this. It's not the bottles.... tried several and the TT anti colic suited her best

She likes fast flow but doesn't swallow fast enough.

I just ended up investing in better bibs. I found Bibblyboos amazing as they are waterproof inside so don't soak through.
