Bottles or Teats only.

I have bought some tomee tippee bottles for my baby these are the 0+ months with slow flow teats.

Do l need to change both the bottle and the teat as my baby's hunger level changes? or just the teats?

I've bought 6 of these bottles, l wasn't sure about how long they would potentially need them.

Sorry to sound dim, but l'm trying to get to grips with every new mum and new baby thing.

Thanks

Just the teats.

You don't actually have to change anything.

I combi fed my eldest and were told to keep on newborn teats the whole time.

The holes in our nipples don't change so there's no major reason to change the holes in the teats either.

If you're planning to solely bottle feed then yes you change the teats as you go.

You might also want to upgrade to larger bottles because when they're tiny they only have a couple of oz at a time whereas when they're bigger they can have 8+ oz in a bottle which don't fit in the smaller ones (but 1-3 oz look a bit lost in the 8/12oz bottles!)

If you're planning to use them alongside breastfeeding, you want to stick with the slow flow teats the whole time so that they don't outpace the breast :)
