We did not breast feed our daughter but did run into a similar problem
when we switched her from formula to regular milk (about 9 mos - 1 yr).
The milk tasted so much more bitter than the formula that she refused
to take it.  Our solution ?  We mixed the two gradually.  At first we
put in about 1/8 bottle 2% milk and 7/8 bottle formula.  Within about
3 weeks we had her on just milk.  Again, I'm not familiar with breast 
feeding but if you could mix mom's milk with formula a little at a time 
it might do the trick.  This assumes the bottle nipple would not be a 
problem.
