Any tips / good bottles for persuading a breastfed baby to take some expressed milk from a bottle?

I have a gift voucher to use at a very nice restaurant and they won't extend it any more for me so I was hoping that DD3 would take a bottle so I could have a night out with DP, but nooooooooooooo!

Had no problem doing this with DD1 and DD2 but DD3 is just chewing and chomping on the bottle and point blank refusing.

No huge biggie but it would be nice if she took one so I could go out for a few hours without her.

Any tips for me I haven't yet tried, or bottles I haven't yet bought?

How old is she?

We never managed to get DD to take a bottle, but she'd drink milk out of a Doidy Cup from about 4 months (messily the first time, but she improved fast ).

Hope you can get something sorted

Same as Tangle - the doidy cup worked for us (eventually!). Hope you get your night out, Thomcat.

How old is DD3? Maybe she'll be ok for a few hours. My DD started nursery at 6 months and wouldn't take much EBM at all during the day - she made up for it when I got home though!

I used the Tommee Tipppee ones - closer to nature?

Will check out the doidy cup, thanks.
She's just a little over 4 months btw, sorry.
