I have used the Tommee Tippee bottles as well as the Breastflow (I have other bottles but have only tried to bottle feed a couple of times) and found that while both work, DS likes the BreastFlow better.

First time Mommy to Connor Wayne: 5/8/11, 7lbs 3oz, 21"
EBF, after 3 hard weeks of syringes and shields, latch was successful!! Don't give up, it's worth it!!
10 months, still going strong and loving every minute!!
I used Medela with slow flow nipples for first son without problems. But for my second baby, now six weeks old, but in NiCU his first week on bottles, he went too fast with Medela, so we switched to Breastflow. Within 2 days he was off bottles entirely and completely on the breast. They are a tad bit more labor intensive but it was worth it for us. They were recommended by several people to me in the nicu forum.
Playtex nursers worked best for 2 outa three of my kids. my middle child only wanted parent's choice's version of evenflo. with the playtex I had no problem going back to breast and my 3rd still perfers breast and didnt get "lazy". He really dont like any bottle but will take a playtex after talking to him and coaxing lol. I'm suposed to go back to work next week and still wont drink a bottle somtimes because he wants to nurse though.My oldest had no problem and didnt perfer bottle or breast over the other. hope that helps.
With my first child, now 3 yrs old, I tried every single bottle in the market and nothing worked. I figure it was because I tried introducing the bottle when she was 5 months old, and also she was, and still is very strong willed. Now I am breastfeeding my 7 month old little boy, and introduced the bottle at 5 weeks. I tried Dr. Browns at first and he refused. The second time around I tried Tommee Tippee and it has gone great. He took it immediately, so that what I am using now.
My daughter used the Tommee Tippee bottles when she wouldn't breastfeed. These worked great and were by far our favorite bottles! We especially liked them as they had a big wide nipple to latch onto. If we had to use bottles again, I would definitely go with this brand again in a heartbeat.

We loved the Dr Brown's bottles. They're alot of parts to put together and keep clean, but she really liked them.

I've wondered about the Tomme Tippie also. My DS1 used dr brown and breast flow both. I liked them equally. DS2 has had only one bottle so far but it was with the breast flow. He did fine.
