When to Change Bottle Nipple Flow

[Anonymous]

Anonymous wrote:At the Breastfeeding Center they advise to stick the smallest-size nipple the baby will tolerate. I think the reason is so that he doesn't develop a preference for the bottle over the nipple. For working moms it can can also help discourage him from drinking too much bottled breastmilk during the day (and then not wanting to BF at night when mom comes home, which can lower her supply and begin the vicious cycle where mom can't pump enough to keep up with baby).

My 9 mo is still on level 1.

So presumptious. Not everyone breastfeeds.
