Nipple size for Oatmeal?
HI ladies,
Our pedetritian started DD on oatmeal cereal in her bottle due to her reflux. I switched her nipple to the level 2 but she still gets nothing out. I had multi flow nipples as well but its way too fast she is choking on it and finishing an oz in seconds! Does anyone have a recomendation as to what level nipple worked when adding cereal. I started with the rice and the level 2 was fine, it must be thinner than the oatmeal. TIA ladies!

Re: Nipple size for Oatmeal?
I was using the playtex drop in nipples and couldnt find one that worked with the cereal in the bottle. the V one it was still , too thick for, slow and medium didnt work and fast was too fast. I ended up taking a steak knife to the slow nipples and sticking the tip of it in to widen the nipple hole, that seemed to work.

they sell "Y" cut bottles for cereal. Check for those but it can come out fast so make sure the milk is thick.
