How do you know when to move up.

I bf, so only really have bottles if she's being left with someone else and ive expressed, but tonight I went to pick
G up from MIL and I didn't have my nipple shields, so just gave her the bottle I had left with them, and she started fussing near then of the bottle - getting kinda angry with it!

I'm using TT closer to nature bottles and still have size 1 teats. Xxx
 
My LO fusses her bottle near the end and gets annoyed. For her it is the sign that she has finished and wants the bottle removed.


 
Thanks, it's the first time I've seen her do that, but then I don't really bottle feed her. Xxx
 
It may just be that you were the one feeding her the bottle. That would be my guess! Xx
 
i have variflow teats on mine just incase but im told its falling asleep mid bottle, taking long times to drain it or fussing and angry early on in the feed that mean u need a bigger teat size :)

This is what I was going to say :)
We went from 0+ teats to variflow quite quickly.
 
I wud say she is a little bit young for the size 2 teats we have started using them this week and harrison is nearly 14 weeks!! I found that he was getting angry and loosing interest in his feed even tho he was still hungry so we changed over!! It takes a while tho to get them used to the faster flow!! She cud be fussy as she is getting more used to bf and doesnt like the bottle as much???

I was just going to ask about teat size!! E is only a month old and seems so angry she growls during her feeds sometimes!! lol. But we tried the variflow teats and she downed 5oz in 5mins (hubby was feeding her - I wouldn't have allowed her to take so much so quickly!!) which resulted in a major sick explosion, so we have gone back to the size 1s. Might ask the HV when I see her on Wed.
