DS won't take a bottle. Should I be worried?

[geek96]

Yesterday was my first day back at work and DS was with DH all day.  We work opposite shifts so he is with DH in the morning.  I go home for lunch to feed him. 

Between 7:30 and 1:30pm he only ate 1 ounce.  He nursed and had a full feeding at at 1:30 and then only ate .25 ounces after that until I got home at 5:45.  Any tips to get him used to the bottle? I told DH to not worry to much about it.  I imagine he is really filling up 1:30 and will go longer intervals without eating now that I am gone.

He is a big boy and is 18 lbs at 5 months so I am not too worried about his intake.

Did he reverse cycle at night? I fully believe that if he is hungry enough, he will eat.

We had to try a couple of different nipples/brands before settling on one. Also, initially,, the bottles were too cold. Now, we put them in warm water for a bit and that has helped.
Other than that, give it time? I'm sure he'll get used to the new routine soon.

No reverse cycle. He went down at 630 last night and only woke up at 4 am to eat.

DH says he keeps making weird faces and pushes the bottle away. I used to EP and he drank from dr browns with no issue but I just think maybe he isn't used to them anymore and needs time.
