Baby won't let dad feed him!

My little man is now 19 weeks old and we have had a rough couple of months with his feeding but last week thought we were getting somewhere.

During the rough times, we thought he had the beginning of a bottle aversion so I have been doing all feeds for about 8 weeks now. After a lot of experimenting, last week we were doing really well, baby fed for mother in law while we went away for a night fine and my husband tried to feed him again when we got back.

The first few feeds went brill, I was so happy that I wasn't restricted anymore and didn't always have to be home in time for the next feed. But the last 2 days, he's started feeding, had about 1-2oz then turns away and cries. He just won't take it. But then I think he is that upset he won't have it from me either.

My husband is getting upset that he won't feed for him and he is already struggling a little bit so this isn't helping.

I'm pretty sure little man is teething so it could be that but hoping it will pass.

Any advice?
