I used to cut the hole in the nipple a little larger so they don't have to suck so hard. They'll tend to back away from you at first, so I used to straddle them and back them into a corner, then just hold the bottle in one hand and your other hand under their chin. I tried to get them on a bucket within a week - if you wait too long it get's harder to train them (and they can bite your fingers better)
