I used Tommee Tippee Closer To Nature as it had a wide base to the teat which seemed more like a nipple. I never tried formula in it though only EBM. Not sure if that makes a difference.

I use Lansinoh mOmma, because the nipple is more like mine (hmm TMI), plus it's short and round.  DS took to it like a house on fire!

Buying teats shaped like my nipples worked for us too!  Got my daughter back on the bottle after a spell of refusing it. My son started refusing it as well but I just persevered with him and offered it before every feed.  He used to only take an oz or two at first but within a week or two was taking a full feed.

We used tommee tippee closer to nature too.

I had a good look at mine in between feeds and went shopping based on that.
