For those moms who bottle feed their babies, whether it's formula or breast milk, and it takes your baby a long time to finish it (15-30min or more), what bottle/nipple do you use? I can't find one slow enough! Plus this girl sucks so hard cause she's used to working harder on the breast. I want her to work harder on the bottle since we're transitioning to formula so she can fall asleep like she does on the boob. I was using playtex slow flow and now I'm using Dr. Browns stage one for 0-3mos. Thanks in advance!

I used dr brown bottles it sucks all the items to wash but they are truly the best bottles in my opinion

theresva way u can get ur baby to go to sleep faster without changing her bottle try adding some rice or oatmeal to her formula the Gerber Brand, it works every time and fills them up fast

The only one that has worked for my son is the stupid cheap nipple that has come with my pump the medela nipples. All others come out too fast and he starts choking and shit

Do NOT give a baby rice cereal before 4 months. I tried that with my 6 week old since she eats every hour, and their little digestive system can't handle solids. She was constipated and scream crying in pain for 3 days straight. Just be more patient, baby's aren't supposed to eat in 5 mins. Your baby is eating like a normal newborn.

@mamas_mia, I definitely am not going to try rice cereal or any other solids, just wanted to know if there was a slower flow nipple I haven't tried yet. And I know she's not supposed to eat in 5min,but that's basically what she's doing with the bottle; downing it in less than 10min. That's why I was asking about a slower flow than the one I'm using so she can work harder, feed longer and fall asleep like she does on the boob.

@ab, yea that's what I'm using now but she still finishes fast and gets hiccups every time. And it takes a while to get to her sleep after whereas on the boob she knocks out on her own cuz she has to work harder.
