bottles and breastfeeding!

Hi
DS takes bottles of expressed milk when I am out. He sometimes has a paddy over it but will feed and settle etc.
Im going to stop breastfeeding when DS is about 6 months old and have started trying to give him a bottle a day of expressed milk and increase that over the next few months so he is more used to bottles. But hes not having it. He just screams and cries so I've caved and given him boobs. Any help and tips on how to get him to start taking bottles more regularly? I know I should have persevered but in 40 mins of trying he had no more than half an ounce!
Thanks in advance!

Or am I just wasting my time giving him a bottle a day, should I just wait until I change him from boobs to bottles permanently?

I guess the answer is to perservere! He takes bottles when your're out and about.
How about getting someone else to try - someone without boobs for example?
