Morrisons teats

I've just picked up some morrisons own brand teats as heard they're a good dupe alternative to the lansinoh. They are medium flow and say 3+ months. My baby is 5 weeks. Shall I give these a go or buy the lanisnoh slow flows? Not tried baby on a bottle yet. Advice welcome, Thanks :)

Not tracking feeds

Is anyone else not tracking feeds or giving bottles at certain times? I couldn’t tell you how much my little girl drinks on average a day, every bottle is between 5-7 ounces but that’s all I know.
