    Mine refuses bottles too and i kind of gave up. I was, however, relatively successful with a tommy tippee sippy cup that has a soft spout that the baby can clamp down on and the milk comes out. My child doesn't suck anymore, just chews, and that seemed to work.

    Maybe try a different brand of bottle or a different size nipple.

    DD has always refused bottles.  We have tried every trick in the book with several types of bottles with no success.  Recently we introduced a sippy cup and it is working really well.  With a bottle she would scream when it went near her mouth but from the beginning with a sippy cup, she loved playing with it.  A couple weeks in and she can lift it to her mouth and suck fairly effectively but not at the same time.  So, sometimes I let her just play with it but when I need her to actually consume something, I hold it for her.  

    This is by far our favorite sippy:  https://www.amazon.com/NUK-Trendline-Learner-Girl-Ounce/dp/B00BEVSSDU/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1372532385&sr=8-8&keywords=nuk+sippy+cups
