How long does it take 6 week old to drink bottle?

Question

It takes my baby around 30+ minutes to drink a 4-5 oz bottle. Is this too long?  I have an extra slow flow nipples because she used to choke on the slow ones. I’m wondering when baby will drink faster. It takes so long that I find myself sometimes nodding out when feeding her in the middle of the night. 
How long does it take your baby to finish their bottle?

Answer

I would maybe try to progress back to the next level nipple. Feeding sessions shouldn’t really go past 30 mins or they’re burning too many calories. She might gag a couple times as she adjusts but if you pace feed her it shouldn’t be too bad. It’s normal to progress nipple flow as they get older

Answer

Could be time to switch the nipple

Answer

It really depends and ranges between 10-30 minutes. Sometimes he needs a 5-10 min break before resuming a feed.

Answer

I time it. Could range from 15 min to 30

Answer

Every time is different. During the day a long time. At night with linger stretches of sleep it takes her like 10 min.
