Bottle nipple size

in Breastfeeding
My DD is 8 months and refuses to breastfeed (we did ok for about 6 months).  I'm pumping to re-establish my supply, but am concerned about being able to get her back on the breast.  In the meantime, we have her on the low-flow bottle nipples in hopes to someday get her back to breastfeeding, but she has figured out that she can push a finger on the base of the nipple to get a flood of milk, so she ends up soaked. DH is pushing to get the faster flow nipples so she doesn't need to do this, but I am afraid that this solution will kill any chances I have to breastfeed her again. Any experience or suggestions? I miss breastfeeding and really hate pumping (painful, I'm working on solving that problem too).

    We've been using medium flow since DS was 4 months and he has no issues switching between the bottle at daycare and nursing at home.
