What a cutie!  Are you giving him EBM in the bottles and have you tried a sippy cup instead of a bottle? If you're doing EBM, you might try gradually adding formula or cow's milk (if he's old enough) so that he gets used to the taste.   My lo is pretty bad a taking milk from her sippy cup and it's EBM, but she's getting better with practice.  Also, if he's getting other dairy from different sources, and getting milk in cereal, etc., then it might not be so bad. Have you read the tips on getting a baby to take a bottle at the top of the forum? Might have some ideas there too.

I wouldn't bother with a bottle at this age - then you don't have to wean that later.  It's okay to start removing breastfeedings even if you don't replace them with formula.  My dd2 never took formula, just went to cow's milk a little after 10 months, and it took a good month or so for her to actually drink more than a sip at a time.  I also give water & diluted juice at snacktimes, and make sure she gets plenty of other dairy (she LOVES cheese & yogurt).   But I started dropping breastfeedings as she started to lose interest, so now we're down to just one at wakeup time in the morning, and regular (sippy cup) drinks with meals or whenever she asks.
