Breastfeeding

How long does your LO take to finish a bottle?

I've read that it should take between 10-15 or 10-20 minutes.  I've also read that it should take as long as nursing.  BUT if nursing takes 30-40 minutes (15-20 minutes per side), shouldn't the bottle take that long too?

We're still finding the right bottle for us.  But so far it takes DD maybe 8 minutes to finish 4 oz in Avent and 15-20 to finish 4 oz in the Breastflow.  We just tried Tommee Tippie and it took about 14 minutes to finish 4 oz.

I like the Breastflow, but I find that the nipple collapes more than what the directins show as normal.  And DH is constantly having to drain the milk from between the double nipple back into the bottle. 

Me 32. DH 38.
