Bottle Feeding Quest...

LO is almost 4 weeks old. I've been pumping and giving him BM by bottle. I'm using Tomee Tipee slow flow nipples. LO can finish 3 to 4 ounces within 5 minutes. It just seems too fast. I'm worried about overfeeding. He gained 9 ounces within 4 days. How long does it take your LO to finish a bottle and do you have any recommendations for a slower flowing nipple.bottle? TIA.

  • I found the TT slow flow nipples were not that slow. I went back to dr browns with the slow flow nipples. Others on here really like breastflow, too. But I haven't used them so I can't tell you anything more than that.

  • it takes DD any were from 15-30 mins to finish a 4oz bottle. I use Dr. Browm bottles and I love them. Yes they are a pain to clean, but I think it is worth it.

  • I like Avent! The newborn nipple is nice and slow. I've heard Tommy tippees are fast!

  • We tried Tommy Tippees too and LO ended up gagging...too fast.  We use the Nuk bottles and those seem to work well. It takes LO about 10-15 minutes to eat 2.5ish oz.
  • Great I will try Dr. Browns. Thank you.
