11 Month still refusing a bottle - yuk yuk yuk

Any help please - So far I have dropped 2 feeds. One mid afternoon was replaced by juice which dd totally rejects. On Sat I stopped the 9am feed and replaced it with a bottle complete with soft teat (like a nipple) - even tried putting it in a cup. No way will she have it. She yawned so I meanly popped it in her mouth and she was extremely unimpressed. All that's happened is that she eats tons more lunch and has a virtually dry nappy.
I really want to stop/ have to since I'm going away in early December.
Any thoughts.....

Thanks Katflowers

I'd persevere with a cup rather than a bottle. When I did it with ds I offered 1 feed in the cup first and only when he did ok with that did I swap the other feeds into the cup. I didnt feed it to him like a bottle - I had him in the highchair and gave him the cup and let him feed it to himself (it was a lidded cup but you could try an open one and see if she likes that better).

ds never took a bottle, i'd give up if i were you

he took a cup (tommee tippee first cup) from about 6 months, no probs
good luck

the doidy cup is also good
