Mucking around feeding

Sorry for the random title, didnt know how to word it!!
Little one is 9 weeks old. Tommee tippee bottles size 2 teat. 6oz. When he doesn't muck around (night feed etc) he drains the bottle.
Past week he has been drinking 2/3oz then pushing the teat out with his tongue. I burp him loads then try to feed them again but he chews the teat, pushes it around his mouth etc for a good 5/10 mins before he eventually feeds again and drinks the lot.
I have tried just stopping at the 3oz but hes a big 14lb boy and after 10 mins realises he actually is still hungry and cries.
Iv tried the variflow teats but he gulped coughed sputtered and drank far too fast .
Any ideas??? X

Sounds normal - he's just exploring. Just go with it and let him feed
