Hi ladies, know I'm coming a little late to the discussion but wanted to share with Fern a tip we picked up when my son refused every bottle we tried - we'd originally shied away from giving him a dummy, as we didn't want to get into the trap of having to get up every 15 minuted to 'plug him back in' during the night, but a health visitor we spoke to suggested that if we could get him to take a dummy, there was every likelihood that he would take a bottle. It took a day or to to get used to, but once he got used to the small teat of the dummy in his mouth, he very quickly accepted a bottle. It was as if he had to get over the hurdle of being used to something rubber in his mouth before he would accept the bottle. Don't know if your little one takes a dummy, but it might be worth a try ... beware though, we did end up spending a couple of weeks replacing the dummy every time it came out and he woke up, so it came at a cost!
HTH
