We tried again tonight, keeping her really upright, hardly tilting the bottle (so she had to suck rather than just letting it drip into her) and giving her breaks but she still ended up screaming for about 2 hours afterward which she never does after the breast. I didn't expect this because my let down is pretty spectacular so I thought she'd be used to having to control the flow.   We might leave it again for a few weeks and try again when she's a little older. But any suggestions are welcome.]]> Sun, 07 Mar 2010 21:45:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32118&PID=960728&title=teat-speed-question#960728 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32118&PID=960674&title=teat-speed-question#960674 Author: Delli

Yeah, our #1 teat dripped a bit and seemed like it was too fast for Jude when he was a few weeks old and we tried him on some expressed breast milk. What helped was instead of cradling him and having him lying down, we sat him upright and he handled the flow a lot better. Once he had gotten used to the bottle, was a little older and wanted it to come faster - then we lay him down a bit more so gravity helped with the flow.]]> Sun, 07 Mar 2010 20:59:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32118&PID=960674&title=teat-speed-question#960674 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32118&PID=960599&title=teat-speed-question#960599 Author: mummymonster

We used avent, but when he was little we would keep the lid on tight. It's generally recommended that you loosen the lid just a bit, but we wanted DS to work for it. Even then, I think the #1 teat dripped a little. The #4 he's on now (7mths) drips a lot!]]> Sun, 07 Mar 2010 20:05:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32118&PID=960599&title=teat-speed-question#960599 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32118&PID=960540&title=teat-speed-question#960540 Author: mumoftwins

All my closer to nature teats dripped (from memory, it has been a wee while).
Can't help with the reflux side of things though sorry.]]> Sun, 07 Mar 2010 18:50:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32118&PID=960540&title=teat-speed-question#960540 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32118&PID=960537&title=teat-speed-question#960537 Author: luvmylittlies

We've got a Tomee Tipee closer to nature bottle and teat for the newborn which we were lead to believe was "slow". I assumed this would mean that it wouldn't drip and Kiara would have to suck on it to get fluid out. But after our first try with expressed breast milk yesterday we found that actually it drips without any sucking. Is this right or should it be harder for someone her age?
My concern is that she can be a little uncomfortably refluxy sometimes and she screamed her head off after the bottle feed because she'd drunk so quickly. Should we just give her more breaks, eg stop every 3 minutes or something to slow her down? ]]> Sun, 07 Mar 2010 18:46:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32118&PID=960537&title=teat-speed-question#960537
