Breastfeeding/Lactation Consultant

Can someone tell me the good brands of artifical nipples if i want the best shot of getting baby back on the breast?  I just found this article on paced bottlefeeding (below). It says we should use a nipple that baby's mouth can get around.  Right now we're using playtex naturalatch with drop ins.  The article says we shouldn't use drop ins because the bottle is too wide. I'm confused because elsewhere I've read in that the nipple SHOULD have a wide base.

It's a long story but after 1 month of bottle and breast, then 3 months of painful EBF with slow gaining, I am stopping BFing.  I want to be able try again when my nipples heal and I feel I can handle it.  I have worked with LCs and the only recommendation I have in re bottles was that Dr Browns minimizes gas. 

The playtex naturalatch nipple is often recommende on this board.  A nipple that is wide at the base that promotes baby's need to open wide, just like breastfeeding, is the best option.  The narrow nipples are generally ill advised for nursing moms, although some moms have no problem with them.

Here's some more info on bottlefeeding the breastfed baby:

And just info on alternative feeding (you don't have to use bottles): http://www.kellymom.com/bf/pumping/alternative-feeding.html

Just for two other recommendations - I used Avent with #1 and Born Free with #2. Both are very wide based nipples, and neither of my children had any difficulties switching from bottle to breast.

HTH!
