    Avent Bottle Teat Question

    Bianca is just over 4mths old now and is still on 1mth+ teats - i think she is starting to get frustrated with the flow cause she is very restless when drinking and gets cranky alot - so i have tried to change the teat to the next one up 3mth+ but she chokes on it and it goes everywhere - is this normal for her to still be on 1mth+?
    Also she had her tongue tie snipped on monday so was wondering maybe she is still getting use to being able to move her tongue around more?????

    HJ. I'm having issies with DD also... she is 9 months and still on newborn teats... I have tried the next sized teats but same thing. i have tried spout bottles/cups etc still not sure what to do with them.

    If she got her tongue tie cut i would say her suck reflex may have changed die to the new movement perhaps... not sure... maybe someone else who has a bubs with a tounge tie would know if thats normal... Just letting you know were the same as in stil on 1st teats... and DD getting frustrated too but when i change she gets soaked. Maybe i should just chage so she can adjust (might be messy but might help)


    GL sorry i couldnt help much

    Thanks Jess - sucks i know but its good to hear that Bianca is not the only one that this is happening too! we just might perserve and keep trying the 3mth+ ones she has to get use to it eventually - i would be happy to keep her on the 1mth+ ones but im pretty sure her cranks are cause she is getting frustrated over it!

    You could try a cross cut teat - the flow is regulated by how hard the baby sucks, not by the size of the hole in the teat. So bub can regulate the flow of milk. I think avent have one?

    How interesting, I was just going to post the exact same issue.

    Bella is thrashing about cause it's not fast enough ( I think that's the reason anyway ) but the next size up just runs everywhere and she chokes.

    Now feeding time is turning into a real nightmare. The only bottle that's not a hassle is the one she has when she is still half asleep at 2am.
