LO rejecting BFing for the bottle?

For the past few days, DS seems to be frustrated when I try to nurse him. He'll pull away and fuss, try to latch on, maybe suck a couple times,pull off again... several times before finally latching and settling down. This tends to happen most often during the day, particularly when he's really hungry. It doesn't always seem to be as much of an issue at night when he's sleepy. I think now that he's accustomed to being bottle fed at daycare, he's frustrated with my let-down being slower and the breast taking more work than the bottle. (Not positive this is the issue, just what I'm assuming). 

Anyone else dealing with this or have any advice for how to help LO not get so frustrated?

    Google nursing strike - sees like it might be the beginnings of it - for some tips. The other thing is to check out and see if there's a possible ear infection - making babies not want to nurse because of the pressure in the ear that it causes.
