My baby drinks more with the phillips bottles than the dr.browns. she eats it faster even though she does spit up sometimes. She perfers that bottle?

Question

Answer

No it sounds like it’s too much too fast. Don’t worry too much about the oz baby is eating as long as it’s still frequent and baby is still gaining weight. Don’t try to help baby eat more, they will when they’re ready.

Answer

Same with my baby who’s 7weeks. He only gets a bottle occasionally since I ebf, but he chugged it down with philips. And then he would get really spitty. I recently went to a lactation consultant and she said to try dr.browns bottles with the newborn nipple. He takes half of what he used to and is still full! Took him a few tries though because he got used to the bottle being so much quicker that he didn’t want to have to work for it.

Answer

She might be eating more because she’s getting more through the nipple? If she’s spitting up then the nipple hole might be too big, possibly.

Answer

Have you touched base with your doc?

Answer

Likely more of a nipple thing

Answer

I think it's the nipples. Phillips sound like they allow for a faster flow, which explains why she spits up (too much too fast)

Answer

What size nipple is she using on the Philips?
