How long does it take...

you to feed your infant? Emily is 11 weeks old and when she was first born it took her twenty to thirty minutes to take 4 oz of formula. I increased the oz because after she finished the 4 oz she was looking for more. But now she takes anywhere from 6-7 oz at a feeding and it is taking her two hours to finish her bottle. I tried going back to 4 oz. but she is even now taking twice as long to just drink that. When she's done with the 4 oz she is still looking for more. AHHHH!! Is this normal or am I doing something wrong. Should I change the nipples on the bottles to the stage 2. I am clueless so any suggestions would be greatly appreciate.

Too funny-I just posted the same question a few days ago! What type of bottles are you using? We are using the Playtex Ventaires and the stage 1's are pretty slow so it cantake Jenna anywhere from 20-40 minutes to finish 4-5 ounces but I heard the stage 2's are waaaaaaaay too fast.
