Default Supplemented w/formula, now she is refusing breast :(

Hey everyone, my baby is 8 days old. In the beginning she cried all the time, because she wasn't getting enough. We were VERY exhausted, because all she would do is cry. My nipples were cracked, and they started to get infected so we decided to supplement with formula.

They are all healed now, and I really want to breastfeed her. When I give her my breast, she sucks for a while, and then she gets frustrated,and begins to shake her head, and cries. This is when I stop, because she won't latch on anymore. My breasts are drying up quickly now because of this, and I really don't know what to do, other than give her a bottle after she get's frustrated.

Does anyone have any ideas on how i could get her back on the breast?
