Hey Kristen. That sounds really hard. We have tried the bottle again a couple of times since my last post. I don't know if this would work for Mia because she is a bit younger, but I found that if I let Natalie have a hold and a play with it she would suck a bit and drink a bit too. She doesn't down the whole bottle, and it does take a while for her to drink anything, but I figure it is a good association to make (ie bottle = fun + milk) just in case I need her to take it at some stage. (Again tho, its not as much of a stress for me cause Natty's on solids too, so I'd understand if it didn't work for you... Just thought I'd share in case that's of any use!)
