So obvious that I am a first time mommy....
I was feeding Mikayla some formula and she starts SCREAMING and getting all red faced.....She did this last night too....I am trying to figure out what the problem is...after like 5 minutes of trying to reason with a one month old ("now mikayla, you have to eat if you want to be big and strong"  )...I pull the bottle out of her mouth to realize that the formula is NOT coming out of the nipple, not sure why
I switch bottles and voila, happy baby
I am such a rookie

Steph since you got the new formula you may need a bigger hole in the nipple. We have cut them wider with a knife or maybe they sell larger ones?

I was gonna cut it but I tried the dr. brown's and it seemed to flow better....I may cut the other ones or look for a level 2 nipple maybe.....

Re: So obvious that I am a first time mommy....
I would try getting the next size. Even when I cut them the still weren't quite right.
One day Steven fell asleep trying to get the formula out of the bottle when my grandma was watching him. She couldn't figure out why he was still hungry but not finishing his bottle. She never took the disk off the bottle and put the nipple on and screwed the cap on the bottle with the disk covering the top of the bottle. There was NO formula flowing to the nipple at all.
And this is a woman who had 5 kids and 13 grandkids  . So dont' feel bad

We all have our moments in the beginning. Try the next level nipples before putting a whole in the current ones that you have.

Re: So obvious that I am a first time mommy....
That happened to me more than once!
I use the Playtex Ventaire and found it was that the nipple was "scored" but I had to kinda crack it open from being new plastic.
The same thing happens after I boil the nipples sometimes too.

For the first couple of feedings, maybe even couple of days it may drip out of her mouth a little. But she will get used to it.
