Breastflow was slower than Avent or the regular Medela ones for us.  A LC recently gave a friend of mine the Medela Calma bottles and those seem like they might be even slower or more similar to the breast than my Breastflow ones.

Dr Browns Preemie is pretty slow. That's what we use.

Same here. But I would also look at the Medela Calma if you continue to have issues.

I use the Avent natural level 1 and haven't had a problem.  At 3 months LO could also be hitting a growth spurt which may get better in a few days.

The slowest ones I could ever find were the Gerber Stage 1 Silicone.  Dr. Brown's  seemed to be a very fast flow on their slowest option.  We accidently had one mixed in from the daycare with our nipple stash and I was horrified at how fast it was!  The Gerber barely dribbled out and he used the stage 1 the entire time he was on a bottle (12 months.)  They are just regular nipples that fit a standard bottle.  We used the breastflow for awhile too, but the Gerber were even slower than those.
