Bottle nipple shaped like nipple shield?? (LO refusing bottle)

DD is exclusively breastfed, but she's done really well at taking the occasional bottle of EBM since about 3 weeks old.  (We have both Born Free and Avent bottles.)

All of a sudden this week, she's absolutely refusing to take a bottle.  I have to be gone for 6 hours tomorrow, and I was really worried about what DH would do.

We always use a nipple shield to nurse, so tonight I put the nipple shield over the bottle nipple, and she took it no problems (after screaming bloody murder for 20 minutes while we tried to give her the bottle).

So, I'm wondering.  Are there any bottle nipples that are huge like the nipple shield?  (we use the 24 mm like they gave us in the hospital)

Thanks for any suggestions!

    I have not seen a nipple shield, but I think the Adiri, Dr. Browns wide necks, Playtex Drop Ins, Breast flow, and Nuby all have "wide" nipples.  GL!
