Dr Browns bottles. Teat 2 is too slow and teat 3 is too fast! Help!

[iiTTCii]

DS has been on teat 2 since birth but in the last week, he's taking forever to finish a bottle (he's on 7oz bottles), he's obviously hungry but gets so tired sucking for ages. I feel like I spend all day feeding him. I switched to teat 3 a few days ago and the flow is free flowing and is far to fast, he can only take a few gulps and needs to stop for a rest. He does drink his bottles a lot faster but I don't feel it's an enjoyable experience for either of us.
I've switched back to teat 2 now.

Any tips?

Have you tried ASDAs Little Angels teats. They fit Dr Brown. I tried DD2 on size 2 but she found them too fast.

I think you get two teats for around £3 pound. Worth a try for the price!

Might get shot for this but i used a pin to widen teats for my daughter. She hated the faster flow teats and drowned with vari flow (which im not sure exist for dr browns) I just popped a clean pin end in to a flame for a second then pushed it through the teat hole to widen it slightly. Worked perfectly for the duration of her having bottles xxx

We ended up doing this and they've worked out great.
