S.B.
Unfortunatley they do not make a medium flow nipple, just the slow flow and fast flow and at 4 or 5 months the fast flow was still too fast, however I am about to try it again because she is 6 months now. I have found they work the best for my daughter, I tried a few other brands and did not like them. I don't think it's the formula not flowing through the bottles I just think like previous poster said- he's not drinking as quick.
If it doesn't work out then I'd try a different one so that you both can be comfortable during feedings.
