What level nipple should a 7 month old be using?

I BF but when I give bottles sidney always used the Dr. Browns standard bottle/nipple. But for some reason just this past week she is absolutely refusing the bottle. I am assuming that it is because I am still using the level 1 nipple (just never occured to me to step up). Soooo should I use the level 2 or 3??? OR should I use the wide neck bottle/nipple so it is more like the breast??? Sad that I am just figuring out now that this may be the problem
TIA

Jared has always been on the bottle. He is using level 2 nipples.

My daughter is 7.5 months old and we use the Dr. Browns wide neck bottles. She likes the wide neck bottles better. The standard bottles have such a small nipple and she makes the funniest face when we give it to her. She has been using the level two nipples for about a month now. Why don't you pick up a pack of level two nipples and see how it goes. It is all trial and error and every baby is different. Good Luck.

It depends on your baby. My son didnt like the extra holes and fast flow of Advent. I never went past 2 with him

Jake is almost 7 months and he is using the wide-neck Dr. Brown's level 2 nipples. I don't think he would take the standard ones if I tried.

OK...today will be the test. I have to go to work so I will bring my aunt the wide neck and level 2 nipples (I'll give her a 3 also just in case). Yesterday since she wouldn't take the bottle my dad fed her cereal (which he has never done before). I think she was sooo over fed with cereal that she got up HOWLING last night and blasted the loudest, longest, hardest TOOT ever. Poor kid Poor grandpa too...he didn't know what to do

Alex uses Avent with stage 4 nipples. He is 10 months old and we switched about 2 months ago.

Well, today was a no go! She had no interest in the wide neck bottle. My aunt never did try the level 3 nipple though. Maybe I will try it myself tomorrow. My aunt ended up giving her water from the mylecon dropper to give her something after her cereal. ARGH!!! What happens if I need to be away from her for longer than a few hours??? I'm starting to get a little worried about this.
