11 week old won't take bottle?

My 11 week old daughter is exclusively breastfed. I would like her to take an occasional bottle of expressed milk so I can go out but she won't do it. She's taken a couple of them before without a problem. I've tried a few different kinds of bottles that are all supposed to be similar to the breast. Has anyone else had this problem and what are some solutions?

Answers:
try having someone else give her the bottle (that she knows) wearing a shirt or something that smells like you but make sure she can't see you!

well I nursed both my girls and with my last girl i took her off the breast at nine months because wow she was attached to me like glue. I just refused the breast completely and just kept giving the bottle. The baby will refused for about a week but trust me he or she will get hungry and give up. oh and try having someone else give her the bottle while your in another room. I hope that helps. It worked for me and she was off the bottle in a week.
