Need baby to take formula - help!

My 6mo DD has started nursery and was taking expressed milk from a bottle. I can’t keep up enough pumping to continue giving her just breast milk.
I gave her a bottle of formula last weekend which she took but since then she is refusing anything that isn’t direct from the boob. Screams at the bottle, won’t take a beaker… nothing.
Shes now off sick with a sore throat but I have no idea how I’m meant to send her to nursery once she is better if she won’t eat!
Any advice world be massively appreciated

Sorry, as not clear, is this from you? Because generally it's very different when someone else tries and they are hungry,

Also presumably at 6 months some weaning will be starting? So between that and a nursery worker feeding her a bottle she will be fine.

Oh sorry yes should have added. Her Dad has tried with me out of the room and my oldest DD but she just will not take it at all. We’re right at the start of weaning (she’s 6 months this week) so she’s not eating much in the way of food yet.

It might be because she's not well.

I would go back to feeding her as she likes it and dont push the bottle right now and create an association

Then when she's better try the bottle again
