newbie needing help with getting baby to take bottle

Hi I am Kirsty a first time mum, to a 17wk old girl. She has been exclusively breastfed and up until a fortnight ago was gaining steadily. She has now dropped weight and is on the lowest centile, she nurses every hour in the day and every ten minutes from 6pm to 11pm, then every hour through the night from 2am. I am running really low on BM and have tried desperately to get her to take a bottle using every one i can find and every different teat i can find, and she point blank refuses. I am exhausted, from the constant nursing and lack of sleep. What can I do?
