bottle refusal

My LO is going to be 12 weeks Monday and has started to refuse the bottle. I'm not sure why that's happened... he took both the como tomo and kiinde bottles before this week. We EBF so I would have my parents or DH give him bottles every once in awhile to make sure he would take them and there's never been an issue. This week, DH tried to give him a bottle and LO flipped. He was so upset, screaming and crying 
DH tried again later that day and same results. The next two days, DH spoon fed him the milk and LO was willing to take the milk that way. So on the third day, DH tried giving him a bottle again. This time, LO would mouth the bottle, but didn't drink much milk. I have to be away from LO for a day and a half in a couple of weeks and am nervous about LO refusing the bottle. Should DH go back to spoon feeding him a few more times, should he stick to trying the bottles, should I buy other bottles to let him try? Any of you experience this?
