6 Month old and Isn't crazy about the bottle

Just wondering if anyone has experienced their LO not taking to the bottle very well. My LO used to around 2 months old, but since January, he's been having trouble getting a good suck from the bottle. He has been EBF and is now taking solid foods, but he struggles with drinking juice or milk from the bottle. We've tried countless types of nipples for his bottles but he just plays with it with his tongue almost in a tongue thrusting manner. Any suggestions?

    You shouldn't be giving a 6 month old juice and juice should never be offered in a bottle.

     We are just introducing juice to him. He is taking no more than 2 oz of juice per day and half of that is diluted with water. I'm unaware of any reason that we shouldn't be giving him juice of this minimal amount. Please tell me what you know that juice shouldn't be given to 6 month old? Thanks!!
