Bottle teet

My boy has been refusing feeds cuz he’s ill. This is literally the only type of teet he will have a full bottle with, the hospital gave us a few but they’re disposable. Does anyone know anywhere that has bottles like this. Update: we have found something we think will work, thank you for the recommendations
