DS still refusing some feeds

I have tried everything, helplines, BF necklace, quiet room - and 4 mo ds still refusing some feeds. Seem to have settled into a routine of feeding every 4 hours at night, refusing from 9am to about 2pm, then feeding every 2 hours in the afternoon.
He is happy, alert, peeing, pooing now and again. I haven't weighed him this week but he was gaining, even if slowly.
Should I just go with his new routine, or try to get him to feed during his fussy period?
I haven't been expressing either as I offer him a feed every half hour during the morning and I was worried he would not get enough if I had just pumped.
One more question - although I don;t want to, I am not sure I can take much more of this. How would I go about introducing bottles?

mandler - I am not sure what would be wrong with just going with what he wants to do. If he's doing fine, then fighting with him seems a bit pointless Your milk supply will be fine now....it is not so fragile that you need to worry about expressing.

Thanks tiktok. Maybe he just isn't hungry! I thought I had him sussed, now back to the beginning again
