We are still on the newborn/slow flow nipples for our Avent bottles. We bottle feed while I am at work, and I need to buy more for daycare. What flow should I get, and how do I know when to size up? She is 4 months old.

Are you BF? We never switched from the slowest flow.
-
We haven't. She inhales her bottles as it is now, so we have just kept them. We use playtex drop-ins.
-
We never did

@Weagle: I am. That is why I was hesitant to size up, but I wasn't sure if I should go from newborn to slow flow. We've never had an issue, so maybe I won't mess with it.
@singingbee: @Smurfette: thanks!

@LovelyPlum: we use Avent, too, and switched to level 2 nipples around that age. Daycare requested faster nipples, otherwise we probably wouldn't have bothered -- but I have a forceful letdown so I wasn't surprised that the slower nipples were frustrating for her. The level 2s seem to approximate my flow pretty well. I think if your LO seems happy, though, there's no need to change.

We switched to the next level when R was taking 20 minutes to finish a bottle. We only switched once and we used Avent as well.
-
We never switched either.

I never have switched from slow flow and don't plan to. He's already bottle spoiled from how immediate and easy it is to get milk. Keeping it slow flow helps a little.
-
I never did. She used the slowest flow since day 1. Combo breast and bottle.
-
LO was EBF til 12 months and we never switched (she gets bottles of pumped milk at daycare).
-
never switched nipples!
