Hi there, my Aliyah is 10 weeks /3 weeks age corrected, I have just started comp feeding bubby at night on the last feed with a bottle and wanted to kno when using the bottle teat do i use ,for age corrected or gestational? I am currently using avent as it seems to be the only thing she will take and she suffers from bad reflux and colic.In the avent range you can use a teat for newborn, 1 month , 3 months and so fourth i am truly stuck as i am not sure when to progress her bottle teat.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.:o

Don't worry too much about the ages on the teats. Both my bubs were bottle fed from very early and I only changed teats when they started to take longer than normal to finish a feed...sometimes they started to play instead of drinking and changing teat often helped then too.
Also, with the avent ones, you can use a needle to poke an extra hole in the teat rather than buying all new ones. The faster flowing ones just have extra holes in them anyway so why waste money. I only buy new ones when the start to wear out...or bub bites holes in them.

Thankyou cwsmum , i never thought to poke the extra hole that will be a great money saver as they can be quite expensive.
Thanks for the great advice!:thumbsup:
