Bottle rejection (4.5 mo) - what worked for you?

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

DS refuses to take a bottle.  I return to work in 2 weeks and his dad will be home with him full-time.  Our first child nursed at home and took a bottle of expressed milk at from dad, babysitter or day care with no problem.  Here's the background:

-  DS had a few bottles at younger ages (like maybe 4-10 weeks old) and drank them, but we got lazy and didn't give him one for awhile and now he refuses.

-  I have left the house for 3 hours for DH to try.  He cries & waits me out.

-  He is NOT a fussy baby at all otherwise, and nurses like a champ

- We have only tried Avent bottles & nipples

- He is drinking expressed milk, warmed up from the freezer

Anyone have ideas that actually worked for them?  Certain bottle, certain position, certain distraction, etc?  He sleeps through the night and I really don't want him to  go on bottle strike all day and wake up all night to make up for it.  TIA!
