were using doctor browns bottles... not sure what flow teat it is, didnt say on the box when we got them
and were using sma gold.
but we had another good night... asleep for 11, woke at 3, then slept til 8
this morning she had 4.5oz so im going to stick to making the bottles 5oz now
I use the doctor brown bottles to and they come with really slow teats. Buy some medium flow teats (not the dr brown ones coz she needs to be 3mnths) Ive got asda and tesco mediums flow teats and use them in my dr brown bottles.
It made a massive difference for me. He use to do exactly the same as your LO. Taking in inconsistant amounts of milk and at all different hours of the day! But then instead of him taking ages to finish a bottle he found he could drink it much quicker therefore was taking in more and feeling more content.
It was a bit messy to start with! lots of guzzling noises and milk everywhere! Took him a while to realise he didnt have to suck so hard! But the results were magical by the end of that day he slept from 10pm till 3am which was magical at the time!!!
Id try that first.
Also a couple weeks after i changed the teats i swapped Kys milk from the cow and gate number 1 to the comfort milk which has now settled him through the night! He sleept from 8pm till 3 and 3 til 6. I think the alternative is SMA STAYDOWN might be worth considering that to.

Thats the beauty of tesco or asda teats! they're made to fit any wide neck bottle and they work perfectly well with the dr brown bottles!
Get an extra absorbent bib ready!! coz they make such a mess lol! Dont owrry if she seems to be guzzling it she'll just need to get use to the faster flow! makes their burps even more impressive! lol !

oooh yeah thats a good idea Kim... I forgot to say that. Evie is on medium flow teats because she was getting tired sucking and falling asleep all the time during a feed. It must be like sucking a macdonalds milkshake through a ribena carton straw!!!!!!
