best bottles / teats for bf baby?

I'd like my dc2 (6 wo) to be able to take an occasional bottle of expressed milk.

I don't have any trouble with expressing but,
Unlike dc1, she's taking her time getting used to bottle feeding. I'm using avent bottles and teats, but wonder if anyone can recommend any other brands?

Thanks!

DS1 took to the Tommee Tippee teats very well, they're more breast/nipple shaped and he preferred them to Avent ones (though friends did fine with Avent).

DD2 would only take the NUK ones, initially the latex ones but later she'd take silicone ones too. The TT ones were much bigger in comparison.

Thanks for this! Really useful. Have seen TT ones, but not familiar with NUK. Will try and hunt those ones down and take a look.

Got a friend coming over with TT bottle and teat tomorrow so I can 'try before I buy'!

I got my NUK ones in Boots - they've got small 5oz ones and the larger 9/10oz ones. Our small branch only has the latex teats but the silicone ones are available online.

Thanks for the tip, mejon. I'll take a look :)
