Anyone got a 6 month EBF baby to take a bottle

Baby is 6 months, we tried combination feeding and it worked at the start but then ended up EBF for a few weeks to get my milk supply in and then she refused the bottle again.
She's now 6 months and breastfeeding is really impacting my mental health and affecting time I can spend with other children as she now feeds to sleep and needs me to feed her to settle her.

Anyone managed to transition to a bottle at this age? Any advice?

If she isn’t keen on a bottle then she’s old enough for a cup. Won’t have the same comfort/soothing factor though.

Hey, my ebf baby started refusing bottles from me but would take one from my mum, is there someone else who could try and give her one for you?
