Bottle Teat Help!!

What bottle teats are similar to the ones they give you in hospital?

My baby is 4 weeks old. 3 of those weeks she was in special care and has annoyingly been fed through a bottle, though thankfully has only been given expressed milk. She now is home and remains exclusively express fed whilst i get support with latching.

However since leaving the hospital she won't take any other bottle but the standard ones the hospital give with the disposable teats. I've tried own brand supermarket, tommee tippee, etc but I'm just throwing money down the drain at this point.

I'm sure it's a teat problem as the milk isn't going down much in these bottles no matter how much she sucks, though is getting some milk out as its bubbling out the corners of her mouth.

Help.

Just to add... If I need to go anywhere I have to take 6-8 little 50ml hospital bottles out with me, half empty and half full, in the changing bag and even then they only last 1 feed and 1 pump so it limits how long I can even be out the house without carrying a spare bag full of bottles. It's really becoming a chore.

Were they maybe using nuk teats? My DD had these when she was in NICU / SCBU. Have a look on amazon for nuk first choice. The only annoying thing is that they only come with medium flow teats, but you can buy a 0-6month slow flow teat separately.

Edit to add congratulations on your baby! Hope you both are recovering well 💐
