Ryan has been using NUK teats for 3 years now. You can read the earlier article about NUK bottles and teats here. Obviously when he was a newborn, he was using the smallest size teats and we gradually changed it a size bigger as he grew.
The problem I find with this is that our selection of NUK products here in Malaysia doesn’t cater to bigger size teats. In the official NUK website in Denmark, I see that NUK has 3 sizes of teats, from Size 1 to Size 3. But here in Malaysia, we only have Size 1 and Size 2. It’s weird.
I thought I’ll stand a better chance shopping on Amazon.com to find the NUK teats in Size 3 but I found none. It just seems like only Denmark caters for it. Should I buy direct from Denmark or just forget it and let Ryan continue to use the NUK teats in Size 2?
He’s not complaining but I do find that the flow may be too slow for him. He’s turning 3 already, he should be on a flow that’s a lot faster. What do you think? Are your 3 year olds still on bottles or they are drinking from cups already?

Hi Penny, my boy refused the bottle since 4 months old. When not latched on, he drinks from a cup. Drinking from cup saves a lot of money on bottles and teats. Much easier to wash too.
I have the same problem with Avent teats. The biggest size is 6 mths and above (with 4 tiny holes). So what I did was I bought it and cut the holes bigger myself.
Hayley at 2.5 is still using bottles. I am not in a hurry to get her to start using a cup. When she’s taking her milk, that’s the only time she will lie down and stay still at one place and I do enjoy the short quiet moment..
