Ano this would vary amongst babies but on average how long should it take my LO to finish his 4oz/120ml bottle?
He's always had a strong suck and seemed to finish quickly however now it takes anything from half your to an hour and he gets bored and starts messing about with it. I've tryed size 2 teats and he's the same on it, and I've tryed variflow and he finishes within 5 mins with these is this too fast? He doesn't choke or anything but it just seems too fast surely?
I don't know which is better the slower ones or the fast ones?
I should add he's a refluxy baby so he's sick majority of the time anyway regardless on the size of teat.
 
30 minutes to an hour sounds about right to me. My DS took forever eating and he is a BIG eater. We're talking 6 oz bottles from birth. I would stay away from the fast flow as it may cause gas and flare up his acid reflux.
