I'm just guessing that a "dummy" is a bottle?? But then you also said bottle, too. So I'm not really sure what that is, sorry. But, fortunately, I never had this problem. My daughter loved the bottle from the beginning and actually preferred it over my breasts. Hmmph. But, there's a great article on how to do this. The gist of it is, try to find a nipple that she likes, the one that's the most like your nipple. Try to give her the bottle BEFORE she gets really hungry. Try having your husband feed her first, so she won't get confused and wonder, 'Why is mommy not giving me her booby?' Try different positions while holding her. This article even suggests trying to give her little bitty sips from a cup. And of course, don't give up completely when she doesn't go for any of it. Wait a few days or week and try again. Babies go through stages really quick and what she can't stand today, by Friday might be okay with her.
