Bottle Nipples for Breastfed Baby

We are trying to find a bottle nipple that our daughter will take that doesn't take so long for her to eat. I returned to work today and it took her 2 hours and she didn't finish the 2 ounces of breastmilk that my husband gave her. I was gone for 6 hours and she didn't even eat 2 ounces, which scares me a bit. Has anyone found a bottle nipple that flows faster than the average bottle nipple? We have only used the Medela orthodontic nipples to start with but I also have the evenflo nipples, which we haven't tried yet. Thanks! M.

Walk me through it- how big of a pain would it be to just...

I Want to Wean My Baby, How Do I Do It?

I have been breast feeding my 10 month old daughter exclusively. I am ready to wean her off the breast. But she will not take a bottle. I've been giving her water in the sippy cup, and she drinks it just fine. I have been trying to get her to drink diluted formula in the sippy cup, but she gags on it. Does anyone have any advice on how to get her to drink the formula? Is it maybe the brand? I have been using Enfamil and I know it is kinda gross.
