combo feeding with Dr B bottle

Any moms successfully bottle and breastfeed using Dr Browns bottles with level 1 nipple? We have been previously using Avent Natural level 1, but she frequently fights at the breast, and has also recently had a ton of painful gas, so I decided to try a new bottle. This Dr B nipple appears to be fairly fast flowing despite being level 1...

    I breastfeed and use dr Browns with level 1. Seems to be working great for us. Gabe is able to go back and forth with no problems. He still has a little gass but I just make sure to burp him really well

    I both breastfeed and use Dr. Brown's, however we have moved to a level 2 nipple. I have an overactive letdown though, so DS is used to a faster flow. 

    ETA I actually found the Avent level 1 to be faster than the Dr. Brown's level 1. DS will take both kinds but we much prefer Dr. Brown's.

    She's not super happy with the new bottle but she's tolerating it for now. Hopefully we see an improvement here soon. Thanks for the help @ladylolly89 and @kelseydsutton

    So we had to resort to bottles at 2 weeks. We started with avent but due to reflux we switched to dr brown. I randomly tried to nurse him at 14 weeks and hasn't had a problem switching back and forth since then! We mainly use size 1 nipples but he doesn't seem to have a problem with 2s. I have a forceful let down at first so 2s might be similar to him. He just loves to eat no matter the method I guess.

    I breastfeed and use Dr. Browns, but we use the level 2 nipple. I also have a really fast let down so the flows are similar. No issues going back and forth between the 2.
