You will probably get better answers if you give a bit more information. What has her normal feedings been like? How often? Any GI upsets? Is she switching from breastfeeding to bottles, are you trying to give pumped milk or formula? It's hard to give advice on a vague question like this.

My son never did take one. My daughter would, but never from me. I wish I had more to offer. Try having her dad give it to her without you around - ir you're there, she'll hold out for the "good stuff."

Get someone else to give it to her. I work in the babysitting room at the Y and I have lots of new moms bring in babies who have never had a bottle before and I get to be the one to get them to take the bottle. I warm the bottle and hold the baby in the same position I would if I were nursing. If the baby is hungry enough he/she will eat.
