When to switch to level 3 nipple?

UncleBen

So the last week or so my LO has been falling asleep during most of his feedings.  Is it time to move to a level 3 nipple?  He's not a big eater (5 oz max right now) and he's a week shy of 5 months. 

Thoughts?  How do I know when it is time?  When I switched from 1's to 2's it was much easier to decipher because he had increased the amount per feeding drastically and it was taking him 45 minutes to eat.  Level 2's to 3's isn't as obvious....

I switched DD at 5 months.  She was fighting the bottle and letting everything run down her face due to teething pain.  Feeding her was taking up to 90 minutes so I just decided to try it and see how she handled the level 3 and she did fine.  You can definitely try it out and see how he does.

hmmm...lol I EBF but give a bottle occasionally and haven't even switched to level 2 yet haha....guess i forgot!

We eat 5-8ounces per bottle so I guess we should upgrade...

sorry I'm no help
