Baby refusing a bottle, meant to be back at work by now!

Please help!! We've been trying to get dd onto a bottle for about a month now and am not really getting any progress just lots of tears. At the start she took the odd one regardless of whether it had breast milk or formula in but now she completely refuses and ends up hysterical.

We've tried different brands of bottles, different types of teats, me feeding, dh feeding with me upstairs and out the way and even have left her with our parents so I'm nowhere near and yet still she refuses.

I was meant to start back work this month and although the boss has been reasonably accepting I can't see his patience lasting much longer as these first two months in the year are particularly busy and set up our work for the rest of the year.

Asked GP and she just advised to keep trying but no practical advice - mumsnetters have you any tips?!!

Sorry meant to say she's 10 weeks and has been EBF from the start. Wish someone had warned me this might be an issue!!
