7 month old suddenly refusing bottles

DC2 is ebf, I've been expressing milk so have built up a freezer stash. Has been intermittently (at least twice weekly, more if I'm having a few glasses) taking a bottle for the last 5 months to prepare for daycare. I returned to work over a month ago for a couple of days per week, this will double in a few weeks. DC2 started in crèche one day per week when I returned to work and this will increase to 3 days when I go back more days.

Has been at crèche twice with seemingly no issues, but started refusing a bottle a week ago at home with DH. We didn't think anything of it at the time, it was at night and I just fed in the morning, but DC2 completely refused all bottles at crèche this week so I had to go in to breastfeed. Help!! Can anyone advise? What could be the matter? How are we going to manage this when my hours increase???
