Pro Tip Alert: Save your money and your nursing journey by not sizing up in bottle ni**les!

Sizing up means faster and faster flow of milk, making it easier to get the same amount in less time.

As you get further postpartum, milk doesn’t get faster and easier. Instead, it’ll be less gushy and harder to move. Thankfully, babies should be getting stronger as they get older and be able to keep getting plenty of milk.

So why would you need to make bottles easier and faster? Truth is, you don’t! If you do, it’s often a reason to see a fast flow preference in baby, leading to frustration with nursing and refusing to latch.

Preemie baby? Sometimes they do start out on an especially slow flow like a preemie ni**le and then eventually worn up to the “newborn” or “slow flow” size. After that, you don’t have to keep going!

And you're not a 24mm 🙈

If you had elastic ni**les, you'd have hypermobility/elastic tissue other places in your body like skin and joints. No one is JUST hypermobile in the ni**les.

That's it. That's the post.

Straight outta Infant Risk:
Topical retinoids do not change the blood concentration of retinols. This means it will not change milk levels of retinols. The drug itself has low absorption (1-2%), so adapalene is unlikely to be in milk. (Latriano, 1997).

Prescription strength topically applied drugs have low absorption (

This is why we don't recommend triple feeding.

Besides it being exhausting and bad for your mental health. Because it isn't kind. Asking a baby to work at a skill they don't have yet while they're hungry and just wanting to eat is exhausting, defeating, and frustrating for them.

People get mad when we say this but it's true. If someone did this to us as adults we'd be pretty upset. There ARE alternatives! Feel free to ask for them other options if you're being told to triple feed.

“They must know how to take a bottle, they’ve been taking one for months!” Bottle refusal is never a good time but this one feels especially frustrating as a parent. So what’s our advice in a situation like this? Reach out for help asap, and if you’re lucky enough to see this before it happens to you - reach out for help before 12 weeks for faster, usually easier progress. The signs at 8 weeks in this story could very easily be missed but by 10 weeks, we’d be recommending setting up a consult with a skilled IBCLC. Before then you might notice red flags like baby takes the bottle but they’re making clicking sounds, leaking milk out of the corners of their mouth, gulping even with a slow flow ni**le, taking 30/+ minutes to finish a bottle, or getting blisters on their lips after. Ready for more info on bottlefeeding? Don’t forget to follow us and check out our bottlefeeding highlight!
