But it was too much for LO because the milk came out too fast so we are back to the orginal ones. ^_^ He's 13 months now and still drinking the "slow" nipples. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-a-hard-time-on-their-first-day-of-preschool#post-725319 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 12:45:44 +0000 banana 725319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just switched at 9 months. We had to buy new nipples anyway so I decided just to go ahead and buy the medium flow ones. I don't think there was as huge different to be honest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-a-hard-time-on-their-first-day-of-preschool#post-725192 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 12:16:06 +0000 littlek 725192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>never switched... if you think about it, womens nipples never change, from slow flow to medium or fast flow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-a-hard-time-on-their-first-day-of-preschool#post-725169 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 12:09:13 +0000 tysonja 725169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we never did. he weaned himself from a bottle around 9 months... he was teething and it hurt his gums! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-a-hard-time-on-their-first-day-of-preschool#post-725126 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 11:52:20 +0000 kiddosc 725126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never have, and won't at this point, we're just about to start bottle weaning. It takes him a while to finish a bottle, but he never complained and I didn't want it to interfere with breastfeeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-a-hard-time-on-their-first-day-of-preschool#post-725116 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 11:48:49 +0000 pinkb 725116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just before 3 months. LO was taking over an hour to eat, and the formula is only good for an hour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-a-hard-time-on-their-first-day-of-preschool#post-725101 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 11:45:28 +0000 Weagle 725101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never have, and probably won't at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-a-hard-time-on-their-first-day-of-preschool#post-724763 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 10:21:53 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 724763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: As long as you have a well established breast feeding pattern and your baby has no other issues, I don't think it really matters. You can just throw them into the rotation :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-a-hard-time-on-their-first-day-of-preschool#post-724760 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 10:21:26 +0000 runsyellowlites 724760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. P is 12 months &amp; she just recently stayed the weekend with grandma using her slow flow nipples! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-a-hard-time-on-their-first-day-of-preschool#post-724758 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 10:21:09 +0000 mrsjazz 724758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never switched. LO is a year and has the same slow flow she had as a newborn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-a-hard-time-on-their-first-day-of-preschool#post-724751 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 10:20:16 +0000 swurlygurl 724751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: That's how I feel now, but I already have all the nipples from shower gifts (unwrapped and washed them even, so can't take them back), so I feel like I should use them... haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-a-hard-time-on-their-first-day-of-preschool#post-724750 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 10:20:10 +0000 pregnantbee 724750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never did. I read that as long as the baby tolerates the slowest flow one, don't change. He has never complained, and if the slower flow helps mimic the breast better, then that works for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-a-hard-time-on-their-first-day-of-preschool#post-724745 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 10:19:18 +0000 swurlygurl 724745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been wondering about this too... DD is 3 months, but I still don't feel like she's ready. We don't really BF anymore (just for comfort), but she can still choke on her bottle every once in awhile. </p> <p>I think that's her problem though... she likes to let the milk sit in her mouth before taking a big swallow, then she chokes and coughs. Silly baby... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-a-hard-time-on-their-first-day-of-preschool#post-724715 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 10:12:46 +0000 pelikila 724715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never did. DS was BF until 9 months and bottle fed at daycare from 2+ months and he refused a medium flow nipple, even after we stopped BFing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-a-hard-time-on-their-first-day-of-preschool#post-724703 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 10:11:06 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 724703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never did. I feel like all that flow stuff was just a gimmick to sell more supplies!</p> <p>My daughter is still using premie nipples at 13 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-a-hard-time-on-their-first-day-of-preschool#post-724593 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 09:42:45 +0000 MaisyMay 724593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been wondering abut this! LO is nearly 4 months but we haven't made the switch yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-a-hard-time-on-their-first-day-of-preschool#post-724456 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 09:10:40 +0000 littlecasita1122 724456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 5 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-a-hard-time-on-their-first-day-of-preschool#post-724409 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 08:56:28 +0000 sumer08 724409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shortly after 3 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-a-hard-time-on-their-first-day-of-preschool#post-724407 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 08:55:50 +0000 ameals 724407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We probably switched a little late. We were so wrapped up in trying to bottle feed her in a way that helped her breast feed (paced feeding technique, low flow nipple etc) that when it became harder and harder to bottle feed her, it didn't occur to us to switch the nipple flow. Whoops!</p> <p>Once we did at 5 months, stopped doing the paced thing and started warming the bottles (she didn't used to care about temp), bottle feeding got way easier. Now she eats like a champ, no more crying.</p> <p>She still won't nurse but I'm now over it.
