Change. : Switch formula. Babies sometimes prefer different types. Hang in there.

Wean to cup: This is the problem of not offering your infant a bottle occasionally while breast feeding. Since she does not know what the bottle is she rejects it. You might try weaning her to a cup at this point or you can get her good and hungry and try giving her the bottle.

Common in breastfed: This is common in br fed infants. Congratulations on establishing the best feeding for baby! have someone else feed baby, while you are not in the house, or baby will be confused and unwilling to try this new way to eat. I'd suggest an experienced caregiver and be away for at least 6-8 hr so that baby is hungry. Some will take sippy cup, but not bottle. See pediatrician for additional help.
