Bottle Feeding Breastfed Baby

Just looking for some advice. DD is 8 weeks and has taken the odd expressed bottle from a Calma teat but she really struggles to get anything out of it - it took DH 90 minutes to feed her 60 mls yesterday. I have quite a fast let down so don't know if that's something to do with it - should she have faster teats? I don't want to do anything that'll jeopardise bf but do want her to take the occasional bottle. Anyone in a similar situation or have any recommendations for teats?

I had a fast let down a d used tommee tippee and medala with tweets for the age they were. Both fed fine on bottle. Bottle is meant to be easier so maybe it is the bottle/teet? Hope that helps

One of my DS would just wait for me, the other would drink in 20ml increments every 45min...

My 11 week old feeds similar - he has like an ounce then takes a break then boob then a break etc just gathered this is normal for them 🤷🏾‍♀️
