Update on kid eating problem

I wanted to update you guys on how that one doe kid is doing. I checked her mouth thoroughly and didn't see any signs of a cleft palate. I tried switching nipples like andabigmac suggested and after a day or two she started drinking like a normal kid . I have no clue why switching the nipples helped because they look exactly the same but hey if she is happy so am I. I have no clue what caused her to be a weirdo for those couple of weeks but my guess is that the milk was coming out faster than she could keep up (maybe her swallowing reflex wasn't up to par yet?).

Anyways she is doing great on the bottle and eating just like a normal happy kid now. Thank you for the suggestions and helping me!

I was actually wondering about your little cutie this morning!
I'm only smart because my little Ali-Dolly just about choked to death trying to keep up with a bigger kid nipple.
