Getting 5 week old to take a bottle

I am ebf'ing DD but there are times when I just cant be with her all the time and she will need to be fed from a bottle. I am expressing but she just seems to play with the teat on the bottle. We are currently using Tommy Tippee ones but does anyone have any suggestions about how to get her to drink from the bottle or other bottles to try?

DD1 took the Tommy Tippee bottles with no problem so we thought DD2 would be just as easy. No such luck unfortunately. Have had success (eventually - took several weeks) with the NUK First Choice ones - the teats are smaller than the TT ones and shaped which I think made a difference. They come with both latex and silicone teats - the latex ones were best initially as they're quite soft but we've since got latex ones too and she takes both just as well.
