slow flow bottles

Meg&AustinMeg&Austin member

So initially I thought my baby was gagging while nursing bc of my flow. Now that we have introduced bottles she still seems like shes chocking and coughs/gags while eating. I am using the 5oz born free bottles that said they came with the slow flow nipple.

Anyone know of any bottle that has a specifially slow flow we can try? To see of that fixes her problem? !

    I've tried those nipples and they are anything but slow flow my kid gagged and coughed on those even at 2 months old! Try a nipple designated specifically as 'preemie'. I also found the MAM level 0 nipples are slower than most other level 0's.

    My LC recommended Dr Browns with a preemie nipple. We tried this and it is going so much better. She also said feed her upright so the milk doesn't just flow out of the nipple but she has to work for it.

    I like Tommee Tippee bottles and slow flow/level 1 nipples for switching between bottle and breast.

    I use avent 0 month size nipple. My son is 3 months and I tried upping it to the next size and it was too fast so we are just sticking with the 0's for now.
