Any suggestions on how to help DS drink his

bottles a little faster???

It takes at least 1 hour - 2 hours for him to drink 3 ozChat Icon Chat Icon Is there anything I can do to speed it up. I'm literally feeding him all day long and finding it very difficult to maintain with DD.

Sometimes he falls asleep sucking and there's no waking him. I try tickling, kissing, shaking, moving, etc. Sometimes he seems like he's sucking forever and only drinks 1/2 oz.

Do you think 4 weeks is too young to try a level 2/med flow nipple???

Young... Yes kinda but taking an hour to drink a bottle is long so I would try the 2 and see. Just make sure he doesn't drink too fast due to the reflux

I would certainly try the next size nipple. We started the 2 with Leah pretty early. I remember not being on the size 1 for too long at all Chat Icon
