EMERGENCY - baby is refusing the bottle

[EssieAStarInBethlehem]

Help, help!
DS, nearly 6 months, is rejecting the bottle. He took a bottle of ebm last night (we top him up before bed), but in the middle of the night he refused and I had to feed him (it was my night off). He also refused this morning when I was out, and he's refusing the bottle top up now.
Any suggestions?

have you tried a cup or beaker?

what sort of bottle are you using? could you try a different type/shape teat?

Perhaps he's feeling a little off colour and wants the comfort from bf? has he been normal otherwise?

He's been fine otherwise although possibly teething.
We've been using the Tommee Tippee CTN ones, and he's been taking it fine at least once a week.
The timing now is dreadful, though, as I'm going back to work in January.
Mind you, maybe I'm overreacting and it's just a blip! DH and I are going to try a bottle dream feed a bit later. We'll get it in him...
