How can I get my baby from breast to bottle when I go back to work.

My daughter is a little over two months and I have to go back to work. She is so used to breastfeeding that she doesn't want to take a bottle from my mother-in-law. There have been days when I have gone out for a couple of hours, which has required her to take a bottle. But she still doesn't want to take it from my mother-in-law. My baby is also fond of falling asleep at the breast. What can I do? My mother -in-law wants me to start giving her more bottles through out the day but no one is here it give it to her but me an as soon as I try I let down an start leaking. What can I do?

Could your husband give her one when he gets home from work? My husband always did one of the middle of the night feedings with a bottle so my daughter was used to it.
