What size nipple?
What size nipple are you currently using? How long does it take your baby to finish a bottle?
B is still on slow... It usually takes about 20mins for a bottle.
Do you need to have them on medium or fast before you start with a sippy cup?
He doesn't seem to be frustrated or having to suck Too hard... Should I even worry about moving up yet? We tried about a month ago and he choked and threw up :-( Guess I'm a little scared to try again!

Re: What size nipple?
We're using a slow flow nipple, and it takes DD about 20 minutes to finish a 4.5 ounce bottle.
You do not need to transition to a faster flow nipple before switching to a sippy cup. If you're BF, it's actually recommended that you always use a slow flow to avoid bottle preference. I wouldn't try to move up if he isn't frustrated with the flow.
BFP #1 9/7/10, EDD 5/14/11, Violet born 5/27/11.
BFP #2 4/9/12, EDD 12/16/12, M/C Rory 4/24/12.
BFP #3 10/6/12, EDD 6/16/12., Matilda born 6/17/13.
He's been using a medium since about 4 months. It takes a good 20 minutes to finish 8 oz but easily half that time is burping.
For now-rare middle of the night feedings, we cheat and use a slow flow to get him back to sleep.
