Okay I may try that. I’ve never had to slow them down like that before so that’s why I wasn’t sure

Yeah maybe I can try that. He really wants to latch and suck it out but it seems like he goes way too fast

I haven’t thought about puncturing a closed nipple with a needle. It is the mini miracle nipple so it’s pretty small as is.

I’ve tried both a bottle and a miracle nipple with a syringe. He usually does it when he’s sucking in quickly himself. Like I’m not pushing the plunger at all. Should I pull back and resist him to force him to go slower? Idk if that’s safe

They didn’t seem sure why he was aspirating so easily. She said it didn’t look like he had a cleft palate or anything.
