Anyone use breastflow teats... question!

[Urchin]

I have tried Riley with some expressed milk for the first time tonight.
I have the breastflow sytem, which has an inner and an outer teat.

The problem is, the milk comes through one teat but then just fills the other one... its really annoying... is this right?

Yep its supposed to imitate the letdown apparently

but then the milk just sits in the outer teat and gets cold... seems really odd, how do you get it back in the bottle if they don't drink it?

Squeeze the sides of the teat and it will go back into the bottle (albeit slowly and you have to keep moving where you are squeezing!)

I found the milk stayed in the outer bit, but now Green Bean has the hang of it there's barely any excess in there.
It's a bit awkward for them at first (I suppose that's the point of the breats flow teats but still - it's frustrating to watch!) but it's worth sticking at it - I love the things now and that's saying something

Thanks, it does seem a bit weird, he got the hang of in in the end, and had about 1.5oz last night.
