Have someone help: In the beginning of a switch, if baby can smell you she is unlikely to take a bottle. Have dad or a friend offer the bottle & leave the area. She may fuss from separation anxiety, but if she is hungry, she should tale a bottle from them. After a while she should be willing to take one from you.

Consultation: with a lactation specialist may be helpful in improving your success with pumping so that your baby can still take breast milk from a bottle when you are not there physically.
