How to get baby to take a bottle

Hi,

I'm EBF my 8 week old and have been trying to build up a bit of a stash of frozen milk at the same time as would like DH to be able to do a feed on two so I can go out by myself and do a few bits occasionally.

I've tried a bottle with her twice and she's absolutely not interested. If she does allow the teat in her mouth then she gags - fairly sure she's not taking any of the milk. I've only tried tommee tippee so far but have maam to try which I used successfully with DD1. Does anyone have any other suggestions of bottles that are good for baby's with a clear preference for the breast?

I've also tried both tommee tippee and maam dummies with her but same thing - either won't take them or does so, looks disgusted, starts gagging and spits it out. This makes me less than hopeful that she'll take to the maam bottles.

Any advice on making this work would be great x
