Bottle Nipple Question

When you express br___tmilk and give bottles, what kind of nipples are you using--slow or fast flow? I am using slow flows...and sometime my little girl seems to get tired of sucking. When can I introduce a fast flow??

it depends on how old she is if she is over 3 months (or close to it) you could try a MEDIUM FLOW nipple and then see how what works if it doesnt get better then fry the fast flow that way she wont choke at least not as easily and there will be a transiton from slow to fast

i wouldnt introduce fast flow unil 6 mo if at all possible

She is only 2.5 months old. I will wait--I think that she gets full before finishing her 4 oz. It probably has nothing to do with the nipple. Thanks.

thats a good question. my 4 week old baby gets tired with the slow flow too, but when i use the medium flow, the milk pours out both sides of his mouth and he wears more than he eats, so i dont know that that is the answer. with the slow flow, it takes him 40 tired minutes of eating the 4 oz bottle, so that isnt great either.. is there any solution?
