I thoroughly agree with Pat Young's comment (below). Use a supplementer so
that the supplements can be fed at the breast. An alternative would be to
slip a syringe under the nipple shield, but I think the tube supplementer
would be easier.
Pat, you are right, this mother needs to get rid of the bottles. The bottle
isn't the solution, but the problem.

How about sliding a feeding tube under the shield, with milk container
medium to high.  Then baby will get breast milk and supplements while 
nursing.  Put supplements in a small amount of milk tho.    In effect get 
rid of bottles.  Later work on getting rid of shield. Mom obviously makes
plenty or she wouldn't be able to pump the 3 extra bottles/day.  Seems to me
that baby just needs to learn where milk really comes from.
