Alex will have the first half of his bottle no problem. Then have a wee break and then we have to sing while he finishes it. His favourite songs are Jingle Bells and Twinkle Twinkle. ]]> Wed, 06 Dec 2006 13:25:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4751&PID=92078&title=avent-bottle-feeding-4mths#92078 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4751&PID=92065&title=avent-bottle-feeding-4mths#92065 Author: LockieandLiam

Thanks for the info ladies!
I think we might get a 4 hole one just to give it a go. We discovered last night that Miss Caitlin would like to be walked around whilst she is having her feed! Well laa dee daa! heheh]]> Wed, 06 Dec 2006 09:02:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4751&PID=92002&title=avent-bottle-feeding-4mths#92002 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4751&PID=91950&title=avent-bottle-feeding-4mths#91950 Author: linda

My sister is a rep for Avent (very handy). She was saying to try the no 4 teat. The ages they have on them are an indication only.   You will be able to tell if she is not ready for the no4 teat if the milk dribbles out the side of her mouth.

Alex was a fussy feeder...we put him on the no4 teat at 5 months and although he was still a fussy feeder he probably drank more milk as it flowed faster.]]> Tue, 05 Dec 2006 21:14:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4751&PID=91950&title=avent-bottle-feeding-4mths#91950 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4751&PID=91949&title=avent-bottle-feeding-4mths#91949 Author: Nic01

I think we used the 3 hole one until Matthew was about 6 months, then went to the 4 hole one. They have them either at foodtown or farmers. ]]> Tue, 05 Dec 2006 21:14:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4751&PID=91949&title=avent-bottle-feeding-4mths#91949 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4751&PID=91927&title=avent-bottle-feeding-4mths#91927 Author: fattartsrock

jake still uses his bottle and we just use the variable flow or 4 hole, whichever we can find. He hated the variable for a long time, though, mainly because mum is a dumba$$ who didn't know how to use them...durrr]]> Tue, 05 Dec 2006 20:08:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4751&PID=91927&title=avent-bottle-feeding-4mths#91927 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4751&PID=91926&title=avent-bottle-feeding-4mths#91926 Author: jax

Ok, have done some research on the net and one of their websites says that the 3 hole one (medium flow) is suitable up to six months, and I have a bunch of those if you want them and haven't already got them. It says that the four hole teats are from six months up, but I can't remember ever having seen them around, and also the "three line" position on the 'one slot / variable flow' teat is apparently equivalent to the four hole one, but I never used those much because as I mentioned we switched types of bottle.

Pur make the wide neck medium flow (3-6 months) ones Toni and I believe they fit the wide neck advent bottles just fine.

The variable flow one is from three months... should be fine for her, but if you think it is too slow you can either make the hole bigger with a skewer heated in boiling water or try the Infanti brand teats which also fit the Avent bottles.]]> Tue, 05 Dec 2006 13:53:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4751&PID=91766&title=avent-bottle-feeding-4mths#91766 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4751&PID=91755&title=avent-bottle-feeding-4mths#91755 Author: Two Blondinis

So which number of the Avent teats are you on? I think the 'highest' they go is the variable flow one, with the slit opening... but I will check my old stash of Avent teats and see what I've got... I'm pretty sure I bought every single type they had before we switched to Tommee Tippee.]]> Tue, 05 Dec 2006 13:25:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4751&PID=91752&title=avent-bottle-feeding-4mths#91752 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4751&PID=91739&title=avent-bottle-feeding-4mths#91739 Author: Two Blondinis

We have always used the Avent bottles and teats etc following the different sized flow teats or using the variable flow ones. I just looked on their website as I just realised we've been using the 3mths one for a while now (I'm such a bad mum! ) so I wanted to know where I could get the 4mths+ teats from. Avent says that the next stage is the sipper (no more teats).

Caitlin has been getting a bit fussy with her bottle over the past week or so (so I'm wondering if the milk isn't coming fast enough for her now), but I don't think she is ready for a sipper - or maybe she is?!?! What are the signs? or is it just an age thing?

Thanks
