The trick is that YOU cannot be in sight when she is trying to be fed a bottle. She’s a smart girl and she knows that the milk comes from you, not this bottle. If you leave the room and let them feed her, she will eventually take the bottle.
Good luck
Time and patients.
A few tips:
-make sure you leave the room while someone else offers the bottle.
-try a few different nipple types before you give up. It may take a few trys to find something she likes.
-make sure you warm the milk up enough. Breastmilk is served at body temp, remember.
Good luck! It took me about 2 weeks of trying for my daughter to get used to taking a bottle.

i have been having the same problem…i have not found a trick that works yet…i have let other people try to give her a bottle, and we have tried every bottle on the market…it is basically a battle of wills, and you have to show her that you will win…i know how frustrating it is…my daughter screamed and hit me and closed her mouth so the bottle couldn’t even get in!! just keep with it and best of luck:)
