Bottle feeding issues

Hi everyone, hoping someone's had a similar experience and figured out what can help. I'm a FTM and have a 5.5-week old girl. She was very good with taking the bottle for the first 4 weeks, but over the last week or so, feeding has been much more laborious. Each feed starts with a bit of choking and then she either dribbles lots of milk on the sides or needs a break after only a few sucks. She still has feeds which are not problematic, but they are rare. I'm not sure what the issue is- teat size?(but she was ok with size 1 for the first month), not really hungry? (She's fed on demand and I follow her cues), tongue tie? (Wouldn't it be an issue earlier/she's gaining weight well). Thanks for your thoughts :)

If you're thinking it may be TT @PS2024 , does she have any of these symptoms?
