Cooking / food with breastmilk

I'm going back to work when DD is 7 months, and my partner will be taking over leave.

DD is currently refusing to take a bottle. We will keep trying, try a sippy cup etc. If worse comes to worse and I can only bf her before and after work, does anyone have ideas for incorporating expressed milk or formula into food to get a bit more into her in the day

you can add milk to anything that would normally be creamy, or have dairy in it really. So you could do things like mashed potato with breast milk, or swap cheese/cream for formula in things like creamy pasta sauces,

How about Very milky Scrambled eggs
porridge
cereal - used to do a bowl of milk and a couple of broken bran flakes or cornflakes, mostly spooning milk in with the occasional half a bran flake so she thought she was eating a bowl of cereal.
breast milk ice lollies, could put a bit of fruit in there if needed and at least you can do a batch
smoothies
pudding cups
homemade rice pudding

have you tried a different bottle brand as well? You could also try an open cup or straws?

My DC were EBF and refused a bottle but they would drink from a cup. Bit messy and you have to hold them and cup carefully!

Thanks! We've tried quite a few bottle brands but no luck yet. She's only 4 months atm so we've got a while to go. Will definitely try a cup as well if we don't get anywhere with bottles
