UPDATE:

Well still hanging in there: At the moment she has baby food but has a cold so that makes her a bit irritable so if she does not want to eat the baby food I leave it, she loves drinking water and the bottle side well long progress I have been altering the teats now that I have found one she likes the taste off (ie made the hole bigger myself)

Baby milk she is more used too but the cold is dictacting whether she wants drink from bottle or not:

Will will getr there in the end, but still on breast milk as well, at night she sleeps only 2 hours sometimes less then wakes for mothers milk.

Hi... i have a 3 month old daughter and we had some trouble with the bottle.By changing different teats we found that some were letting milk through too quickly and making her have to breath much faster.She stopped breast feeding at 12 weeks and is on HI-Q formula and pureed rice and banana mix.She has been on formula since birth as well breast milk.This is my wifes third baby so i tend to assume she knows best and so far , she does!

By the way...we use pidgeon brand baby products as they have these special teats that protect against clic and regulate flow.You still have to make the hole the right size for the babys tastes though

Slightly off Topic:

But we took the daughter to our Doctor today as she has a bad cold that is on her chest now, and that has made her not interested in baby food and bottle milk really :

How ever we got the medication now bless her, but in Tesco Surin they have baby food in the Jar different flavours, Not seem them anywhere else.

Also got a training cup today and tried that she loves drinking water: Will get back to normal whne cold gone, wife was talking to another Thai Mum at Docs about not taking bottle bottle, the lass said you must leave her with your mum and let her scream till she takes the bottle. mmmmmmmmmm We tried that its not going to happen again I will get her drinking myself.

Well I got all sorts of teats some I am playing with making the holes a wee bit bigger. The silicone ones she does not like the taste of, but I found some that are a different composition.

lad wouldnt touch a bottle, had big tantrums anytime one went near him.

however, we then tried a cup and he loved it.

the bottle isnt the be all and end all.
