The Dr. Browns bottles Level One is for children up to 3 months of age. You really should start using the Level 2 now and possibly upgrade to Level 3 soon. Assuming that your daughter was born around your due date (a term baby) and doesn't have any serious medical issues or feeding problems, she really should be using the Level 3 nipples (they are designed for babies 6+ months). As the Levels go up, the faster the flow is. The older she gets, the faster flow nipple she needs in order to make sure she doesn't have to work too hard to get the milk. You'll also find with a faster flow nipple, she'll drink more and therefore gain weight quicker. :)

Dr. Browns bottles is what we use, they also sell nipples in sizes 1-4 and y cut. We use the standard. She is now 7 months and we may move up to the level 2 nipples.

born free, slow flow nipples or they are marked number 1. If you buy new born free bottle , she is automatically coming with this nipple.

Most of the bottles sell a "slow flow" nipple. Look for those words on the package and on the bottle nipple itself. Hope this helps!
