BF baby won't take a bottle

My 3 month old ds is breast fed but used to take an expressed bottle at night. He started refusing it though, and my dh had to wake me to feed him, so I stopped expressing. Now I can't leave him for more than a short period because he won't take a bottle. We've tried Nuk medium flow and Avent 2 hole but he hates both and screams when he's offered them, even when he's starving. Does anyone have advice on how to re-introduce a bottle?

I used Tommee Tippee closer to nature bottles which were great and have also seen alot of other mums recommend them on here. Get ur dh to try again as if he can smell ur milk hes gona make a fuss for that.

Make sure the milk is quite warm - my DD would reject the bottle if the breast milk was only luke warm. I used Tommee Tippee close to nature bottles too. I found that the first feed of the day was a good one to try with the bottle. I tried every morning and after about 6 days she would start to take a decent amount.
