Can anyone offer me any advice?.....

DS 6 months, started weaning this week which is going really well. Have been dropping a feed a week for last 4 weeks as DS starving all the time, was getting very cross when feeding from me and seemed to prefer bottle. Down to just morning feed now. Took a bit of getting used to but to be honest was planning on stopping BFing at 6 months anyway. As of yesterday DS will NOT take a bottle from me. Is hungry, fusses, reaches for bottle and puts it in his mouth then will not feed. Will have bottle from my husband at dream feed but refuses from me and starts rummaging round and crying until I put him on my breast. This settles him but obviously milk supply nearly gone now so it doesn't satisfy him and he is still upset. He woke in the night for a feed last night which he hasn't done for 2 months. Not sure what to do. Should I just keep offering bottle and when he is hungry I guess he will take it. Should I stop putting him on the breast? I don't really want to re- start BFing now. Just don't understand the sudden change.

Thanks for any advice

how long's this been going on? Could he be teething/unwell?
