Here I read about how daycare should feed BM babies slowly like nursing, I think 10 min per oz is what I read. Anyway, the bottle come in different flow size, generally you go up one size after 3 month. My LO started daycare this week and she is now turning 4 month. she is definitely better at nursing then before. So should I not change her bottle nipple size since I want her to remain slow when she is bottle fed? Currently she is there for 1/2 day only and sometime she eats 7 oz (2 feedings), sometimes she eats 4 oz (also 2 feedings) in the 4 hrs she is there. So I can't really tell if she is consistently eating fast and a lot or not plus she's only been there 1 week. Just wondering what other mom's have done with older babies and their bottles. thank you.
We never changed the flow, he always had the slowest flow, but that is just us, I'm not sure what the norm is. He had the bottle twice a day when I worked until we transitioned to sippy cups when he was older.

I see, I think I'll keep her with the slow flow then. I use the comotomo bottles and I've never seen it collapse and she hasnt fussed about it yet. But she definitely is faster when nursing. thanks everyone.
My DS is 7 months and we use Dr. Brown bottles with premie nipples.
Me too! A NICU nurse suggested Dr Brown's preemie nipples and I love them. Where do you get yours cinderin? I haven't found them in stores anywhere and have to order them from Amazon.
I agree with PPs to stick with slow flow. We did with DD from when she was first taking a bottle to 1 year old. Unless there's an issue, I would leave it alone!
