Moved from breast feeding to bottle

My LO is 14 weeks old and I moved to bottle feeding 3 weeks ago. She has taken to the bottle really well but will only take 3 oz at a time, then is not interested for about 1 hr. Basically she will take the full 2 hours (the time that the milk is safe to use) to finish a 6 oz bottle.

Is this normal ?

which bottles are you using? my lo was like this with tommee tippee, taking in too much air and feeling full. I now use dr browns and he has the whole thing in one go. also what teats are you using? hv advised me to go up to next size if feeding was slow as they get tired/bored of sucking if its too hard for them.

I use Phillips Avent and have moved from slow to medium flow teats. She takes the 3 oz fast but then gives up and is just not interested. I wasn't sure if this was normal with breastfed babies as they feel little and offen. I also have the anti colic bottle and the air flow is fine (I have tried them myself lol).
