Dr Brown's level 2 nipple too FAST!

[kohler14]

I recently switched from a level 1 to level 2 nipple when my LO was getting bored and frustrated with the level 1. The flow is way to fast and causing a ton of spit up, which he has never had. It more than cut in half the time it takes to feed him. I have tried to slow him down and burp him several times, which he gets really frustrated about. I am wondering if anyone has had this problem? I tried to go back to level 1 and same thing happened. He seems happy with level 2 while eating but he is most likely spitting up a half ounce or more of formula now. Nothing else has changed except the nipple. I am wondering if there is a level 2 nipple out there that is similar to the dr brown's but slightly slower? Any advice would be helpful

Thanks

Is he spitting up straight after a feed or a while after? If you have only just swapped teats it can take a few feeds to get used to the new flow, the fact he is drinking quicker now is a sign he needed a faster teat.

How are thing now?

It took a good couple weeks for DS to get used to the level 2 nipples.  I kept switching back and forth thinking maybe he wasn’t ready for it but all he needed was time.  If you use a paci, we slowed him down with that.  About 1/3 of the way through the bottle, pop the paci in for a minute or two and again about 2/3 of the way through. It kept him from getting frustrated that he was taking a break.

I have been doing the paci thing...I kind of figured he just needed time, but was hoping maybe there was something else I could do. Thanks for the advice!
