She used the slowest flow since day 1. Combo breast and bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-nipples#post-1807135 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 15:24:18 +0000 artsyfartsy 1807135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never have switched from slow flow and don't plan to. He's already bottle spoiled from how immediate and easy it is to get milk. Keeping it slow flow helps a little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-nipples#post-1807096 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 14:13:35 +0000 kiddosc 1807096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never switched either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-nipples#post-1807094 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 14:12:58 +0000 swedishfish 1807094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We switched to the next level when R was taking 20 minutes to finish a bottle. We only switched once and we used Avent as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-nipples#post-1807093 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 14:11:20 +0000 PurplePeony 1807093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: we use Avent, too, and switched to level 2 nipples around that age. Daycare requested faster nipples, otherwise we probably wouldn't have bothered -- but I have a forceful letdown so I wasn't surprised that the slower nipples were frustrating for her. The level 2s seem to approximate my flow pretty well. I think if your LO seems happy, though, there's no need to change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-nipples#post-1807087 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 13:57:11 +0000 LovelyPlum 1807087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: I am. That is why I was hesitant to size up, but I wasn't sure if I should go from newborn to slow flow. We've never had an issue, so maybe I won't mess with it.</p> <p>@singingbee: @Smurfette: thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-nipples#post-1807072 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 13:46:54 +0000 Smurfette 1807072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never did </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-nipples#post-1807071 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 13:44:44 +0000 singingbee 1807071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't. She inhales her bottles as it is now, so we have just kept them. We use playtex drop-ins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-nipples#post-1807069 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 13:43:59 +0000 Weagle 1807069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you BF? We never switched from the slowest flow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-nipples#post-1807067 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 13:43:25 +0000 LovelyPlum 1807067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are still on the newborn/slow flow nipples for our Avent bottles. We bottle feed while I am at work, and I need to buy more for daycare. What flow should I get, and how do I know when to size up? She is 4 months old. </p>
