When to switch to level 2 nipple
my DS is 2months and eats like a madman. I feel he is catching a lot of air with the level 1 nipple but also feel he may be too young for the next size up. He is 14.5 lbs btw. What age did you switch?

Re: When to switch to level 2 nipple
I just switched DD to level 2.
She is 4.5 months and around the same weight as your son.
Try the level 2, if it's too fast, you'll know.

Re: When to switch to level 2 nipple
We switched DS to Level 2 right after he turned 3 months. We only tried it because at that point he was eating 6oz at a time and he was taking SO long to finish his bottle.
So we have it a try and he def took it very well.. he was spitting up more for the first week or so, but he's been great since.

Re: When to switch to level 2 nipple
He has a lot of gas sometimes and i think it's because of the nipple; he too is now taking longer to finish his bottle then previously. I'll try it out and see if he chokes or not...he has always been a powerful "sucker".

Wow okay... I never knew what the norm should be... My dd takes about 15 mins for 5-6 oz of formula. And I'm still on level 1 nipples. Think ill stick with what works.
OP... Sorry for hijacking your thread!
