What nipple head / bottle is best for baby cereal?

My baby had to do baby cereal in her bottles to gain weight (instructed by her pediatrician due to falling off the growth scale and for other medical reasons) at 2 months. She used the Phillips avent natural response bottles and nipples. We had to move her to a flow 4 nipple so she could get it out.
Any reason why you can’t just use a spoon? We did baby cereal first and just started her straight on it like normal cereal in a bowl and spoon fed her x
None. You don't put anything in a bottle but liquid. Even for reflux they're moving away from recommending it in bottles due to aspiration risk. You can go straight to solids and cereal isn't a great "first food." Also not the best option for weight gain when formula exists and isn't a hazard I would follow this account https://www.instagram.com/the.baby.dietitian?igsh=NnF5bGE3aWZqdnV1
You actually shouldn't put cereal in a bottle at all unless specifically instructed to by your baby's pediatrician for a medical reason. I know it's something the older generation pushes, but it can be really harmful to their gut health and is also a choking hazard. Did the pediatrician tell you to offer it? If so, can you ask the office the best way to offer it?l
