Why do you call your daughter stubborn??? That's not right. She's not being stubborn, she's telling you what she wants. My middle son was like that, I tried to bottle feed him my breast milk when I started back to work, but he wouldn't hear of it. He essentially wanted nothing plastic in his mouth; his opinion was if it didn't come from me, he didn't want it.
Keep on breastfeeding her, especially if she likes it. Now, in order to get her used to a bottle, express some of your milk and give it to her that way. Try putting a little milk on the nipple, and start slowly. She might get used to it, she might not. Just take your cues from her. And stop calling her names!

I am sure your daughter is no different then anyone else in life.
If you are used to putting on your left shoe before ever putting on your right shoe in the morning, it will take a while for you to adjust and do it the other way around. Or if you drink coffee in the morning or pop and to try to cut back or stop drinking it all together.
Keep in mind that breastfeeding has been what your daughter knows as the place where she gets her meals, and mommy has made that comfortable.
If you are trying to do it cold turkey or wean her off it completly I suggest pumping for a while and when you give her the bottle it will have the same stuff that she was getting out of mommy in the first place and that may make it easier.
You can also try to let her breastfeed for shorter and shorter periods of time and at the end of each feeding try to offer her the bottle.(Remember to still hold her for a little while.)
She will soon get the idea and you will more than likely miss that closeness you get when you breastfeed. Also Remember this is a major part of how babies bond with mommy.
I could only breastfeed for a short while with my youngest who is now six months old, and for about a month around the time he was three months old he had trouble suckling on bottle nipples, so I had to try platex bottles and refills, and nipples which he took to really well and the nipples that platex offers are really similar to that of a mom. It made a big difference. I would hold him close and hold the bottle kind of close to my chest, for a couple of days untill he would take it, now I have a bunch of bottles that he doesn't like at all.
good luck with your darling girl.

First of all, she is not subborn, she's a baby. You started her breastfeeding and with time and patience she'll accept the bottle. Just keep trying couple times each day. The breast is familiar to her and that huge nipple on the bottle is very unfamiliar and probably very uncomfortable.

Come on - WHY DO THAT? The longer a baby breastfeeds the more immunity the child builds up from the breast milk. Give the child the benefit of longer, healthier life, and let it breastfeed.
Good Luck

You might try holding the bottle near your breast so she thinks she is getting your milk, or if you have someone to help have them give her the bottle for a few feedings until she gets used to it. It isn't so much stubborness but just unfamiliarity...

Have someone else give her the bottle, you can't be around for it....or she'll cry and whine until you give in. You sort of have to be bitchy about it. Good luck.
