Baby refusing bottle

My 6 month almost 7 month old baby girl is exclusively breastfed. She was taking a bottle with pumped milk fine and even formula as I had to go back into hospital at one point. From 3 months she has been refusing and I'm getting to the point now where I would really enjoy a break and have tried everything to try get her to take it. I've tried using different formula and different bottles but she isn't having any of it and only falls asleep at the breast. Can anyone give me any tips and when did your babies start with a bottle?

Does she drink from a sippy cup? You could try a sippy cup of pumped milk/formula if she won't take a bottle.

Sorry, this happens. It happened with my first when I tried to make the switch from EBF. Try a straw cup. She eventually took that wonderfully and guzzled full feeds through a straw age 9 months.
