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

Ya my LO is ok w the faster flow teat and drink much faster. My concern is whether she will still latch properly if I change to faster flow teat. I'm afraid she used to the fast flow and become lazy At latching and refuse to latch as latching requires more effort. Sorry if my initial post is not clear :)
