boobs broken, DD won't take sippy or bottle of anything

She turns 1 on Wednesday.  My milk seems to have vanished.  I have always struggled to keep the supply up since I work ft and have to pump.  She takes a bottle of BM once a day while I work.  My supply is essentially nil, and I don't feel like its worth it to fight to get it back again since she's basically 1.  I've tried literally every sippy and straw cup Target sells.  She won't take whole milk in a sippy or a bottle.  I'd been doing 3 parts BM, 1 part whole milk for several days but hadn't upped the ratio yet.  Its also hard to up the ratio since she just gets 1 bottle a day.  She was up screaming twice last night because I didn't have any milk to give her.  I am so frustrated.  She eats plenty of yogurt, cereal, purees, fruit, cheese, veggies and puffs so I know she's not starving, but I also know she needs the milk.

    We are trying to switch to milk as well.  But, DD will take a bottle or sippy of formula, so we have some options as far a mixing it goes.  However, I have read and have had friends tell me that they need 16 oz of milk or an equivalent amount of
