    Dear Moms,

    My LO is 7 months old.She was EBF until 5.5 months and is taking few solid foods now.I intorduced NAN1 couple of days back as my BM wouldn't suffice.Shes doing good with that,but the problem is the feeding bottle.

    I earlier used a Camera bottle presented by someone,but she sucked lot of air.So i stopped using that and gave her sippy,but it leaked.so gave water through spoon.
    But for Formula milk, i need to get her used to bottle.

    I bought a AVENT airflex(0+ and 3+ nipples) yesterday,but the nipple is too long for her to latch.She either pushes it out or chews them(no teeth yet) instead of sucking.She is used to my B's which has short nipples.

    Can you please suggest a nipple that is not long (the sucking area) i mean.

    Hello Aishu,

    Even my LO had the same issue with long nipples and I see that he is doing perfectly fine when I introduced Dr.Browns bottle to him. Try to buy one bottle first and check.

    Regards,
    Malar
