Hi
I too recommend Katie Fisher - I thought she was really brilliant. She's really easy to speak to and seriously knows her stuff (she also writes for a baby magazines). She also spotted my son was tongue tied and had me referred to Kings straight away (my GP said this would have taken ages if I'd done it through them).
To help him to take the bottle I had to put him in front of Cbeebies (!) and give it to him whilst moving, ie, distracting him as much as possible! He has also always had his milk very, very hot.
My daughter was also a pain to get onto the bottle, and I second the NUK bottles, you do have to buy the latex teats though.
Does your baby take a dummy? When mine were being difficult we'd pop a dummy in and then quickly swap it for the bottle, it nearly always worked.
Also, make sure you've tried different brands of formula, my son would go off his every 6 weeks or so, so we'd change the formula.
Good luck!
