Our 16 month old uses premie nipples :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-make-the-bottle-nipple-switch#post-930975 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 21:45:23 +0000 skibobrown 930975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We switched following the packaging guidelines. DD was clearly ready to move up each time we transitioned her. She would get to a point where she was clearly frustrated with her bottles, and switching nipples would do the trick every time. Just before one year she started actively preferring the much faster flow from her sippy cups, so that transition was easy as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-make-the-bottle-nipple-switch#post-930960 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 21:35:22 +0000 dolphin 930960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We switched to medium flow around 6 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-make-the-bottle-nipple-switch#post-930827 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 20:35:10 +0000 yin 930827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stuck with the level one nipple for the entire year. As LO was more efficient, it took him less time to drink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-make-the-bottle-nipple-switch#post-930794 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 20:14:35 +0000 Mrs. Polish 930794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We switched when his ped suggested cereal in the bottle to help with reflux, otherwise we would still be on level 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-make-the-bottle-nipple-switch#post-930791 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 20:12:16 +0000 sera_87 930791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haven't yet. I think if you're doing a combo of ff &amp; bf you'd want to keep it slow-flow to mimic the breast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-make-the-bottle-nipple-switch#post-930766 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 20:01:13 +0000 blackbird 930766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was taking E 40 minutes to finish her bottle, so we bumped her up to the medium flow ones and now it's 10-15 min. She's doing great with them. She's 14-15ish weeks old</p> <p>eta: she was also sucking so hard on the slow nipple that it was frequently collapsing inward and getting stuck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-make-the-bottle-nipple-switch#post-930762 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 19:57:40 +0000 MsLipGloss 930762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Lol- definitely! And she would play with the nipple--like, she would flick it and pinch it. So when she started doing the same things to me . . . It was time for a new plan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-make-the-bottle-nipple-switch#post-930758 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 19:56:47 +0000 LaineysMom 930758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 months. She started fussing and it would take way too long to feed her. @9 mo. we're still using level 2 with no plans on switching. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-make-the-bottle-nipple-switch#post-930753 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 19:54:19 +0000 autumnlove 930753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Did you have any 20+ minute feedings for 3-4 ounces? :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-make-the-bottle-nipple-switch#post-930738 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 19:48:14 +0000 MsLipGloss 930738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also switched around 5 months. LO wasn't finishing her bottles during the day, and, based on how easily distracted she was while nursing, I thought she was probably bored and the Level 1s were taking too long. As soon as we switched to Level 2s, she was finishing her bottles again. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-make-the-bottle-nipple-switch#post-930733 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 19:46:30 +0000 MrsF 930733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never made a switch until she was fussing with her bottle around 7 months. We actually went straight to size 3. It took her a few days to adjust but it was much better for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-make-the-bottle-nipple-switch#post-930726 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 19:44:30 +0000 autumnlove 930726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I switched at 5ish months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-make-the-bottle-nipple-switch#post-930722 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 19:41:27 +0000 mediagirl 930722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. We used 1s until she dropped the bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-make-the-bottle-nipple-switch#post-930713 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 19:37:31 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 930713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What were the cues that your kidlet was ready to switch from size 1 (slow flow) bottle nipples to size 2 (medium flow)? Did you just follow the nipple month suggestions (+0 months, +3 months, etc.)?</p> <p>DD is 4 months ish and we just bought size 2 nipples today. Wondering when to switch. I didn't pay attention to the packaging with DS and didn't move to size 2 until 6 months+. </p>
