Bottles for the nursing baby

Hello! I am currently 34.5 weeks along, my little girl is due to join us April 27th. I plan to breast-feed but I also know that while I am working 5 days a week after my maternity leave comes to its end, I will have to pump and she will be bottle-fed (her caregivers are great, a dear friend of mine two days a week and my SO the remaining three days). I am a first-timer, completely clueless about all things breast-feeding other than that I'm dead-set that's how I want to raise my babies, so I've been reaching out for any advice I can get regarding any of it. One big question I have is what type of bottle will make the transition from breast to bottle and back again easiest on my DD? I want her to eat and eat well when she is with her other caregivers but I absolutely want her to transition right back to nursing when I am home with her in the evenings and on weekends. My sister had recommended The First Years Soothie bottles, but they have been discontinued since my nephew was an infant 4 years ago so I am once again at square one. Help!
