Actually for babies who are rejecting bottles, pigeon seems to be the only one that works like magic according to mummies. (I personally never tried pigeon so I can’t give you advice on that.) You can try to give her the bottle but let someone else feed her instead without you within her sight. If she rejects, then don’t give, try again later. Babies are very smart, if she sees you, she’ll naturally want your boobs instead of bottle. So without your presence, she sort of have “no choice”.
