Best bottle for a breast fed baby

Hi Moms,
I have a 4 month old baby girl who is whom I exclusively feed breast milk to. I have never had a problem with nursing any of my 4 kids, but now, several times a week, I am separated from her and she must drink the pumped breast milk from a bottle. She has been throwing an absolute fit, screaming whenever anyone wants to come close to her with the bottle, but will, finally, reluctantly drink. My question is, do you have a recommendation on a nipple type that is the most similar to the breast? I had used Gerber New Traditions in the past with my other children, but am no longer able to find them. My kids do NOT like the Avent nipples either. I think that I would need a nipple that had a short neck and a wide base, any ideas on brands?
Thanks so much in advance

I agree the breastflows are the best. thier have been reviews saying the collapes to easy, but that is what makes it more like the breast. my 5 week old takes these like a pro. I had to use a bottle and pump when I came down with a breast infection called mastitis and he never had any problem going back and forth between bottle and breast.

We have had problems finding a bottle my daughter will take my milk from as well. I am going to go buy some of those Breastflow bottles tomorrow!

My son developed latching issues with regular bottles (Dr Brown's), so I switched to these one's by The First Year's called BreastFlow. Once I switched to those, no more latching issues! They are really cool, widely available, and are the closest to breast that I have been able to find. After 3 months using them, I would never use anything else!
