I am direct latching as well as bottle feeding ebm. recently my LO fusses at the bottle at most feeds & refuse to drink towards the end and I suspect it's due to the teat size. She takes about 30-45mins on avg to finish up 120ml. So I tried changing to #2 teat and she actually can finish her milk in 10mins much to my amazement. However I would like to know for breastfeeding mommies do u up the teat size or keep on using the slowest teat size? Up till which month then it is advisable to upgrade? Thanks! Eta: I'm currently using pigeon peristaltic plus size ss teat thinking to change to s teat

Hi How old is ur Lo? If u have changed it to S size and your lo do not have any problem drinking it, then you can proceed to change. My lo is using pigeon bottles too. I changed and upsize it on 3rd month, 6th month and one year old. Normally we used slower teats because afraid of lo cant take the fast flow teats.
