She may be a bit more likely to take the bottle if you are NOT the one giving it. It may be even better if she knows you are out of the house.

You may have to have someone hold her snug as in nursing position and then sneak the bottle in--she may be confusing "cuddling" with "nursing."

Are you trying to give her formula or breastmilk? If it's formula, you could try to mix it with a bit of breastmilk--maybe she'll like it better.
