I have the Dr Browns bottles with size 1 teats but I have also tried size 2 teats to see if that was the problem but she's doing the same thing on every bottle I use even different brands.
She's only just started doing this. Any ideas why or how I can stop this? It's taking forever to fed her and I'm exhausted getting up every hour because she doesn't finish her previous bottle.

This is very normal/common with newborns so don't worry too much. With mine I often have to change his happy half way to wake him up or a midwife said to take a layer of clothing off (not so they are cold) just to wake them up.

Not sure if you're still having this problem, but I had this with DS and it was a right pain, so I feel for you. I used to blow gently in his face and/or tickle him to wake him up, with variable results. Also, twisting the bottle so that the teat rotates in his mouth would often get him sucking again. It was a phase that didn't last long for him and hopefully won't for your DD either.
