Are you still nursing as well? I guess my concern would be that the level 3 nipples would possibly have such a fast/easy flow that she might refuse to nurse.

I don't plan on ever moving up from the size 1 nipples. They're nice and slow and I don't see a need to move up (or spend the money on faster nipples). I have read that if you breastfeed, you should stay at the lowest size nipple for bottles until you're done breastfeeding.

We went from slow flow to medium when LO was about 4 months old because it was taking him a half hour to eat from a bottle. The transition to medium went pretty well and I don't know if we'll even have to go up to the fast flow ones as the mediums seems to flow pretty quickly.

We tried size 2 flow around 3 months and it was clear he wasn't ready so tried again at 4 months. He went from taking 30 minutes to drink a bottle to taking it in 10-15 minutes. At this point (almost 6 mos) there's no way he would drink for 30 minutes....he's too nosy and distracted. I don't plan to switch to a faster flow for awhile though, he seems content with the size 2 (also feel like drinking a bottle any faster than 10 minutes would not be good!)

@winniebee: Do you breastfeed also? If so, did the change in nipple flow affect your nursing?

@regberadaisy: Thanks for this post. I am still on the same nipples since she was 3 months. I didnt even realize I was supposed to go up again. The nipples I have are fast flow though, so is there anything faster than that
