My LO only takes it when distracted. DH puts him in the Ergo, goes for a walk down a busy, noisy street, and kind of sneak attacks him with it so he's eating before he realizes what's going on. And it doesn't work if I'm anywhere nearby!

I can't imagine that she'll take a bottle of formula if she won't take a bottle of breast milk.

My little guy wouldn't take a bottle (due to high lipase, but I didn't know it at the time). We tried various things with different rates of success:
1. Give the bottle in the bath
2. Try replicating your presence (though this is unlikely to work, since she won't take a bottle from you). Alternatively, make it very different from when you feed her (sit somewhere else, use a different position, etc.)
3. Distract. For awhile, my guy would only eat solids if we were outside. Luckily, it was spring!
4. Check to make sure your milk tastes ok, especially after it's been stored. If it doesn't, google "high lipase" or PM me.
5. Try putting baby in the car seat to feed (hopefully just temporarily).

I tried all the bottles, but that def wasn't our issue, and I've rarely heard of a different bottle making all that much difference.

I have a friend who gave her daughter sippy cups of breastmilk at 4 months because her daughter wouldn't take a bottle.
