Breast to bottle transition tips

Was having a little success introducing a bit of formula once weaning started but then a tooth broke through and I've ended up with an all out bottle refuser.

Dc starts nursery in 4 weeks so I really need to crack her. I have offered milk in a doidy cup and mam anti colic bottles (even tried a calpol stick). I've done half and half breast/ formula. Doesn't seem to make a difference. Dc purses lips, turns head away and cries.

I don't think expressing is necessarily the answer and also could do without pumping for nursery days as I find it a stress.

Can I have your tips and suggestions for things that worked for you please?

Ask someone else to introduce the bottle to her. It could be the smell of you makes her try and hold out for your breast.

How old is she? Will she definitely need milk at nursery? I just gave nursery extra yoghurts for mine and they had a long feed in the morning and when they got home.

DH has tried multiple times, she does the same to him.

She's 8 months so still needs milk.
