There is no video but please turn your sound up to listen to my daughter take a bottle. She is eating from the Philips avent natural size 1 nipple. She is gulping and I can hear her swallowing/it getting to her stomach so loudly and she is also at one point making a clicking sound. She also tends to choke a bit while drinking. I’m a first time mom and she is 3 months old I just don’t think this is right. Also she has been checked for a tongue tie

My baby does that clicking sound with wide nipples but usually gulping and choking means the flow is too fast

Make sure your not using a newborn nipple and that it's a three month size. I know it sounds weird but it does make a difference

my daughter did this too with the avent bottles so i switched to the pink dr browns and she takes it like a charm. i also think it is most effective if you can calm them before eating (if necessary) because when they go from crying to eating they tend to eat a lot faster because they are trying to relax themselves. when i think my baby is drinking to fast i like to blow gently in her face to kind of bring her back to me. in combination these things have been working great for me! ever baby is different so if you try , lmk ! i’d love to help if i can. for reference my baby is almost 6 months old! best wishes

also that gasping noise sounds like her rythym is off. which means there is still milk in her mouth when she is trying to breathe which is probably due to the bottle being to fast or her gluping instead of drinking. have you tried taking little breaks while feeding for approximately 15 seconds? that is what my lactation consultant suggested for me! my baby is very fat so she eats like there is no tomorrow so i have to help her take a break and catch her breath sometimes. baby’s just love their milk😂😂

Try using a newborn flow see if that helps

That was how mine was with the same bottles at first. I manually went through my nipples and only used the ones that didn’t drip at all with water in a bottle. Some say they don’t but still do. My LO ate perfectly after that until recently it wasn’t coming out fast enough she would get frustrated or fall asleep from trying too hard— that’s when I knew it was time to switch up to a faster flow

I’d try pace feeding and dropping the test size x
