Nipples on bottles collapse?!

Then I know my lil 1 is a strong sucker, lol cuz my nipples feel it too! But when I give him a canteen, the nipple always sinks in and I have to take it out and wait for it to be normal once again. When I put it in the canteen warmer, I put a cap over it...only not sure if it's only the steam and heat from the warmer that's making them and then soft??!

@barrios1985,

I recall this could hateful its time to get to the next nipple menses size up. Lo is sucking to hard to drink making it collapse. What flow size are you using?

Mine does this too, but hes on three-vi month nipples, adjacent ones up are eight+ and he chokes and leaks

@evemryan,

Even so slow menstruation nipples, and so I'll try the iii month plus ones! Thanks :)

@barrios1985,

Guess we should start the next step up too

Bc this has been happening not stop. Thanks for asking!

This was happening to us non terminate with medela nipples. Just switched to Dr. Browns and honey them. No more nipple problems.

If it's a tommee tippee bottle so you have to manipulate the vent in the nipple. I take these bottles. The nipple will collapse if the air vent is closed. Their website says to clasp the vent between 2 fingers before each feed. Best of luck!

@barrios1985,

The bottle is not venting well plenty ... Your baby is sucking out volume (milk) and creating a vacuum which is causing the nipple to collapse. If the canteen is properly vented to allow air in to supplant the milk that'southward beingness sucked out this won't happen. Some bottles like Built-in Costless have a built in venting system, but if yours doesn't just loosen the pinnacle a flake. Yous want it merely correct enough that milk doesn't leak out; over tightening the top keeps air from flowing in.

The comments most going up a nipple size can be effective because with a faster flow infant united nations latches to take a jiff more frequently which allows the air to period in through the nipple. However if you're trying to keep breast feeding then you want to stay on the lowest menstruation nipple yous can because y'all don't want it to be easier for LO to get milk from the bottle than the boob.

@barrios1985,

Oh besides my EBF son was perfectly content on the slowest period nipple until we stopped chest feeding / pumping at vii months. If you tin can get your bottle to vent there's no reason to go up.

@barrios1985,

Dr Brownish bottles don't do that- ever
