I went to the Tommee Tippie I believe it's what it called and my daughter loves those and it's one of the only ones that I found a zero it, because she can't handle a 1 yet. And the nipples are nice and soft and not stiff. Those are also one of the only paci brands she will take.

In order to avoid the milk shooting I usually express a little prior and try to be lying almost flat on my back. This makes it so much easier for my baby to breastfeed

My milk sprays out at first too and she was coughing and coming unlatched until I started expressing a bit beforehand. I have a Haakaa (basically a silicone suction cup with a base for catching milk attached) and when we’re about to feed I’ll pop it on for 3-5 minutes to release the pressure and then once she’s latched on that side I’ll switch the Haakaa over to the other side until it’s time for her to switch. Seems to work well for us. Also as a bonus I usually have 1-2oz I can store without having an extra session for pumping.

Nuk close to nature! Closest nipple to a breast! My baby was exactly the same way now she loves bottles! They are slow flow, any colic, and have three holes to flow like a nipple and they are shaped like a nipple!!
