Default Baby was taking bottle, now refuses... HELP!!

I have been giving my son the occasional bottle of expressed milk since he was about 6 wks. When we started giving him the bottle, it was a little hard at first, but once he got it, it was no problem. He is almost 4 months now, and at about 3 months, just when dh and I were FINALLY gonna leave him w/ a grandparent and go on a date, he decided that he WILL NOT take a bottle. He gets SOOOO upset that he is nearly hysterical. I have been pumping 4-6 oz's every day, and am building quite a big stock of milk in the freezer. During the day, he likes to eat every 2 hours from start to start, so I really can't leave him long enough to go out for a date w/ my hubby, and I'd really like to. I have tried giving the bottle, dh has tried, grandma's and friends have tried, I have tried giving him freshly pumped, I have tried different nipples, I have tried warm, cold, and room tempurature, I have tried sneaking it in while he's asleep, I have tried sneaking it in while he's on the breast....he just WON'T take it. PLEASE HELP!!!!! tia
