Variflow teats too slow??

Hi,

My 4 week old DD is breastfed and given 1-2 bottles of expressed milk - issues at start of breast feeding meant I had to use and still use nipple shields. These mean she doesn't really have to work for the milk or suck too hard.

Past two days DD has been taking ages to get any milk from variflow teats when bottle feeding which she has been fine to get 3-4oz in under half hour from before. Now she is taking full hour to maybe get 2oz or getting frustrated/falling asleep (still breastfeeding well).

Just wondering if it would be worth getting the medium flow teats as slow flow were too slow or would medium flow still have same issue of not suckling?

Thanks in advance :)

Have searched forums for variflow but all seem to be positive experiences
