playtex nurser? i just bought the playtex nurser which is great but it came with first stage nipple which i think it's slow for my three month old baby at what age should i change to second stage i find she takes a long time to drink?
Reply Jessica Squires than id say its time my son is 6 weeks and took for ever trying to drink his bottle a lot longer than i thought he should so i moved him up to a medium flow nipple
4 month old's mom if you move to the second nipple it will be too fast, just be patient
beerbohms I use the same bottles and I was told, by my pediatrician, to change the flow of bottles as you do foods. Your baby more than likely hasn't started solids yet, so you're probably fine. My baby, at that age, took a long time to drink too....probaby 20 - 30 min.
Once you start solids, at six months, change to fast flow.
tpuahlekcip as long as your baby keeps gaining weight regularly she is getting enough milk :) if the flow is too fast she wont have to suck hard enough to get the formula and will overeat, start a stage two nipple at 6 months when you begin solids, or in the event your baby falls below her normal weight percentile
jen I use the same thing. My daughter is 8 months old now and I switched her around 2-3 months. she did fine with them. I'd try it and see, you'll know if its too fast for your baby.
