For people that are bottle feeding, at what point did/will you switch to a faster flow nipple? We are using the Avent bottles and still using nipple #1. I’ve just realized that #2 is meant for one month + and H is 6 weeks. Should I be switching over? Our ped said her kids never moved out of the newborn stage nipples so I think it's more if the kid is handling eating ok. DS1 stayed in newborn nipples because he basically drowned trying to use medium flow.

LO got his 2 month shots today and wants to be held constantly and DS1 woke up from nap with a fever on top of his cough. I'm expecting a long night.

This is the latest I've been up in months because when we went to get ready for bed we realized our sheets were in the wash. That's the worst!

I use Avent naturals. I switched when he started to collapse the nipples. He was sucking so hard that the nipples were being sucked inwards. He is on 2s now but I don’t know how much longer he will be on those. I gave her a bottle yesterday when we were out and I noticed she was collapsing the nipple. What does this mean? Too small? Are you nursing also? If so, I’d stick with the slowest flow nipples.

After a chat with the nurses line, it was determined that DD should be brought to the pediatric emerg to be seen. She is breathing faster than they would like, and her cough is gross. DH took her in since in is cd1, and I'm home with DS. How is she doing?

DH took her in since in is cd1, and I'm home with DS. How is she doing? After 7 hrs, and a chest xray, the diagnosis is bronchiolitis. Unfortunately there is no medication for it, so we just have to continue with the saline and elevated sleep. If her breathing gets worse we will bring her back, and she would have to be admitted for oxygen.

[l Yes. I only used slowest flow w my boys all the way through. When the nip collapsed I was using the small medela nipple with one of their little bottles. I think the nipple itself may have been too small.
