    Tommee tippe slow flows were always too fast for my kids. We've had great luck with Playtex vent aire
    ETA my only experience is with BM, I dont think it would make much difference though.

    I know when DS does something similar its usually gas. I would try burping before you start feeding and maybe consider using gas drops. If it is a bottle issue and not gas I would assume that if she latches on and then stops going to a slower flow nipple would be better than a faster flow. We also really liked the playtex vent aire bottles.

    Might be the taste of the formula, we are using similac for supplementation because using similac advanced was too rough on her stomach with supplementing a feeding and so far so good.
    Also are you warming the bottles? Could be a tempature thing.

    Like PP, we just switched from Similac Advanced to Similac for Supplementation (14 oz a day) because the Advanced made him gassy and uncomfortable.

    We do both BF and bottles and sometimes babe is fussy with the bottle but will.eventually take it like you mentioned. I just think he likes boob better. We use Dr. Browns and Avent.

    The playtex drop ins and vent aire have been a god send. Honestly we tried tomee tippee and dr browns and they still let air in. I would try gas drops as well . You can put them in their bottle

    I agree with PP about trying a slower flow nipple. Have you tried to mix some breast milk and formula together in the same bottle? Also- are you using the powder or ready to feed formula? My DS did not like the ready made stuff, I think it was a little thicker or maybe the flavor was different, either way- he would not take it.
