I was recently trying to get my little one to take EBM because i got some work for a day and would be away for a full day. She was basically exclusively breastfed (not really into solids yet) but will take water from a cup or sippy cup.
She was not keen at all no matter what we did. However, she was ok staying with her Dad and waiting for me for feeds. Luckily DH was able to bring her to me a couple of times during the day and she fed then. Usually she would feed about 6 times in the time i was working, but she had just 2 feeds on that day, and made it for it that night and the next day. So, although it wasn't optimal and i would have preferred that she would drink EBM, she was able to hang on until she could drink straight from me.
