bottle feeding slow

MrsLillyG

We started giving a bottle a day for a, week now. We use slow flow tommytippee. It takes at least an hour for her to finish 2 oz still. Should we switch to med or fast flow... or is it normal to take this long in the beginning. Tia!!

Eta she normally eats alot in the evenings. I put her on the boob within a half hour of her finishing the bottle

When she eats, is still sucking the nipple shut and you need to put the bottle out to let more air in? If this, I would consider moving up in nipple flow. I know people discuss that moving up in nipple speed will confusing the LO when it comes to nursing but I have never had this happen. But if she isn't sucking it close, she may just be a slow eater, and you could always try the next speed up.
