Breastfed baby taking bottle

I have to leave the room, or else she will refuse
My first day at work, I got a teary, pouty faced picture of my daughter because she refused the bottle for the full 8 hours. 😅 Eventually she took Dr. Brown's, but she didn't love it. She did really well with Mām. As far as advice, you (well, not you, someone else preferably) just have to keep trying. And are you doing breastmilk in the bottle? Do you have high lipase that could be throwing the taste off?
When my daughter was first born she was on a feeding plan because she wasn't gaining weight, so I started pumping and using Tommee Tippee bottles. She took the bottles fine but If I tried to get her to latch as well she just refused. So I kind of gave up trying with the boob. She didn't latch again till she was about 2.5months old. I offered her the boob as I hadn't pumped enough and thought I'd try, and she took it 🤷🏽♀️ I still use Tommee Tippee bottles and she now happily both latches and bottle feeds.
Como Tomo bottles or nano Bebe the day are the best for breast transition....
