Bottle fed & teat sizes

Hi lovelies, my baby girl is just over three weeks old now. She's on formula [due to me having delayed lactation as I had heavy blood loss & a transfusion shortly after]. Originally she had a newborn closer to nature tommee tippee teat which was the smallest size. However with this I noticed she was gulping a lot of milk & gasping loads! Despite me pace-feeding, she was gasping for breaths so I purchased the Vari-flow teat.. but with this, she's not only gasping and gulping, but she's now spitting milk from the side of her mouth while drinking.

I'm unsure of what to do?

Variflow is probably too fast for her. I’d try a completely different brand of bottle.. I found Tommee Tippee teats too big for my DD, she settled with Nuk but done well with Mam as well.

My baby had this issue and I just switched to the dr browns anti colic bottles and she is doing amazing with them
