Breastfeeding

Bottle Tips?

My 7 week old DD is EBF.  I'm headed back to work part time in September and I'd like her to start taking a bottle occasionally (would also be nice to get out some  :)

I've tried giving her them twice, once at 4 weeks and once at 6 weeks.  I tried a Tommy Tippee and a Dr. Browns both size 1 nipples.  I watched the video and did my best to do paced feeding, however she had a horrible time with it!  It's not that she refuses, it's that milk spills out of her mouth, she chokes and spits up a ton.  Even after I really tried to follow the paced feeding guidelines.  Any tips?  Is this normal for some babies and she'll just figure it out as she gets older?  She did have a significant posterior tongue tie lasered at 1 week and has a high palate, so I wonder if it's related?  DS had to be supplemented from birth so I never had this trouble with him.  Thanks!
