Tips on how to get a baby to take bottle

Just this really...

I'm EBF and am a bit desperate for DH to help wth feeds, either expressing milk or formula... not sure yet.

But DD refuses the bottle and screams poor thing... even if I leave the room so she doesn't know I'm around.

I want to leave her with grandparents and husband but with her not taking a bottle I can't..

Any tips?

This might be a silly question, but have you tried different bottles? Admittedly my baby had a tongue tie, but she found certain bottles (eg. A Mam bottle) much easier than the ones that came with my breast pump, as the teat is quite flat and soft. I'm just wondering if your baby may be choosy and might get along better with a specific type?
