Try Breastflow bottles by First Years. They are designed for nursing babies. These bottles have a nipple inside of the nipple that makes your baby suck like he would when breastfeeding. My daughter hasn't had any trouble taking breast milk from these bottles because there is no nipple confusion.

We all need time alone! I've been too lucky with that!

Maybe if he's hungry enough, he'll eventually take it if it's the only option? I don't know if that's an "approved" method. I read something in a book about a tube you tape to your finger for feeding. You could look into and try that?
