Anti colic bottle nightmare

Hello everyone as the title says i am having a nightmare with these particular type of bottles.. my daughter was diagnosed with reflux and CMPA I have been using mam bottles since birth and oh my her wind has always been awful so I switched to dr browns bottles which are amazing however the teats are bloody awful she cannot get on with them at all they're too long and it's like she gags on them I don't remember them being that bad with my son years ago.. I have tried using a mam teat on them which was great but they leak so much for being interchangeable like it says online.. I am at a complete loss now I want something to suit her I have spent so much on teats and bottles I have enough to open up my own bottle shop.. I swear these companies believe that one size fits all they need to bring back complete interchangeable teats of all different shapes.. so that's enough of me ranting has anyone got any advice on other bottles that don't have a stupidly long test that seems to want to choke her?? TIA xx

Aw bless her.. reflux isn’t nice at all, my cousins little one suffers with it. Luckily I just have a little monkey who doesn’t like to part with her wind but she’s been a lot better this last week and I’ve just kept on with the colic drops the gripe water works to but it makes her poo so can’t even give her it every bottle cos it ends up a liquid nappy explosion. I was using infacol at first but found it was bunging her up and then I changed her milk and have kept on with dentinox fingers crossed it seems to be working for now x

Try Avent. I used these for my little girl. The only one she would take to

I second avent. They’re the only bottles my LO wouldn’t swallow air with when feeding. We tried every other bottle going

We’ve had success with Nuk bottles and their latex tests. They’re short teats which seems to help with colic.

We use the Tommee Tippee anti colic bottles which have worked really well even when DS was early at 5lb, teat is a good size

I used Avent bottles, you can get anti colic inserts for them now.
