Sloooooooow bottle feeder

[juliax3]

one of my DDs is so slow it drives me nuts. she is 13 months so i am thinking if i should take her off bottle rather than try to figure out why she is feeding so slowly. when she was little i figured it was her prematurity, as her sisters were equally slow. but her sisters have sped up and she has no developmental problems. is she lazy? using bottle for comfort sucking? i actually enlarged the holes of her teat, but that didn't help either. tried avent and dr browns. any advice? will la leche league be able to help?
cheers

Could she use a sucky-cup yet?

does it really matter? Honestly not being snippy, but why does this bother you?

how slow is slow? and how many bottles does your lo have? If its only a couple then I dont see the problem really. You could try a beaker if you wish.

Try a different teat/bottle system?

If she isn't upset at the slow rate the milk is coming, though, she might just be one of life's slow eaters.

i think i was a slow one, too. but, colditz, i have 3 (triplets) to feed, and i continuously feel the need to hurry to get "things done". maybe you are right and this is just the time she needs.
