DS suddenly refusing bottle?

My DS BF's when I'm home with him (1 day/week and weekends), and I pump for him when I'm at work and he's at daycare. His daytime intake has never been that great (5-8oz), though he makes up for it in the evening/night/early morning (reverse cycle?). One of these feeding sessions I give him a bottle of pumped milk. However, as of a week ago, he has completely refused the bottle both at daycare and home. He took 1/2 oz of milk all day yesterday. Fortunately, he is eating solids, but it's obviously not a replacement for BM. He still nurses pretty well, but I don't think it's enough!  He isn't sick, but just got his two top teeth. Someone suggested trying a sippie cup? Do you have any favorites? Any other recommendations? He's just below the 3rd percentile for weight so it worries me when he isn't eating enough! Thanks for any advice!!

    I'd suggest trying a sippy cup too...dd really liked the nuby ones. 

     Ds doesn't like them though.  He started stealing dd's sippy cup from early on so he prefers the kind she usues.  they are gerber ones I think...
