Bottle/Gulping advice

My 2 week old GULPS his bottle like it is the last meal on earth, as a result he has terrible gas and ends up swallowing a ton of air.

Any suggestions to get him to slow down?  Maybe it is the bottle I am using? (Dr Browns).

TIA! 

Re: Bottle/Gulping advice

  • Are you holding the bottle horizontal and not tilted?  Are you using the slowest flow nipple?  I hear Dr. Brown's premie nipple is great, actually.  In any event, you should be stopping feeding after every 1/2 ounce or so to burp him.  That will help, too.
    I am def tilting,  I do have the slowest nipple flow (1).  I can try the premie one.  I will try to burp after every half ounce.  I have been doing it after every once.  Thanks!
