  We haven't and I guess won't be because we will be ditching the bottle soon. I tried switching a while ago, maybe 9 months? And it was a no go.

  We went straight from BFing to fast flow bottle nipples when I weaned, DD was just over 8 months old.

  I did with my Playtex bottles (they are pretty slow anyways), but I didn't with our Gerber bottles.  I wont be buying any either, since we are in the middle of switching to all sippy cups.

  I'm trying to remember.  Maybe 4-5m?  However, he's bottle fed entirely as I EP.  Since he wasn't getting it from the source, the nipple flow didn't matter as much.  I just upped it when he was repeatedly flipping the nipples inside out (we use mostly Medela ones) and was taking absolutely forever to eat.  It was taking us 20-30 minutes at every feeding with the slow flow ones.

  I think we started fast flow nipples around 7 months. She was taking forever to finish her bottle and she wouldn't eat enough because it took so long, so we switched over to fast flow and now she finishes a bottle in about 5 minutes.

  We will be ditching the bottle some time this month. Hopefully before she turns 1 and starts on milk.

  I switched to fast flow at about 5 months when DD was collapsing the nipples and taking forever to drink a bottle. She started doing that again about a month ago, but there was no bigger sizes so I just poked a big hole in the middle with a scissor and it seemed to help for a while. Now she is inverting them again, so I have no idea what to do next. I've tried putting her formula in the sippy, but she only likes water out of a sippy. Go figure.
