LO is 5 months and we still use #1. She is still nursing though too, so it's probably for the best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avent-bottle-users#post-1492857 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:29:24 +0000 PurplePeony 1492857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oops, I never even checked. DD is 3mo and we're still using whatever came with the bottles, I think it's #1. But she spits up if she drinks too fast so I think it's probably better for her as long as she seems happy with these. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avent-bottle-users#post-1491593 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 11:58:19 +0000 Adira 1491593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we stayed with #1 indefinitely. But I was also still nursing, so I didn't want him to prefer bottles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avent-bottle-users#post-1491558 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 11:51:11 +0000 googly-eyes 1491558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: same, although I didn't use avent til later </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avent-bottle-users#post-1491538 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 11:47:51 +0000 Charm54 1491538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We switched when I noticed it was taking a long time. She was super fussy at 4months old (gas from trying so hard to get milk out of the slow flow?) when we got a faster nipple things were SO much better. 15 minute feedings instead of 45min! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avent-bottle-users#post-1491534 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 11:46:52 +0000 edelweiss 1491534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is done with bottles now, but we only got up to #2 flow. which is pretty fast--one time he tipped it over when drinking from it in the carseat, and when i took him out when we got home, the whole bottle had emptied because of the drip. fun times and great smell! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avent-bottle-users#post-1491517 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 11:43:46 +0000 Ash 1491517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't use Avent but we switched when we noticed he was collapsing the nipple which was right when he hit 3 months - same time it was recommended. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avent-bottle-users#post-1491512 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 11:43:14 +0000 ShootingStar 1491512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, LO is just about 4 months and we use 1's. I didn't realize they were "newborn" and that there were others designated as "slow flow". But we BF at home, so IDK if there's a need to change it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avent-bottle-users#post-1491495 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 11:39:50 +0000 illumina 1491495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we are still on #2 which came with the bottles and LO is 6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avent-bottle-users#post-1491147 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 10:10:47 +0000 swurlygurl 1491147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No - I just changed when I thought she could handle it. At 13 months (and just getting rid of the bottles) I even had one size 1 nipple that I still used for bedtime, so it would take her longer to finish her bottle and she would calm down more. You don't even need to ever switch the nipples if you don't want!! It just makes the bottles finish muuuuch quicker when you do </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avent-bottle-users#post-1491130 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 10:06:52 +0000 looch 1491130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I kind of just went with changing them when I noticed my son was taking longer than usual to finish the bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avent-bottle-users#post-1491123 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 10:04:52 +0000 MrsH 1491123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you follow the nipple size/age recommendations?</p> <p>LO is seven weeks and we are still on No. 1 </p> [attach=1960/14/n2dr86.450x600.image.jpg]
