I've Recently Decided To Switch From Breastfeeding My Son To

I've recently decided to switch from breastfeeding my son to bottle feeding. Since he has taken a bottle here and there for the past & months I figured it would be an easy switch. I started trying to replace breastfeeding a with bottles of my breastmilk and he is now completely rejecting the bottles all together. I have tried different people feeding him when I am present and not present, different bottles, different cups, even medicine droppers to get him to take the breastmilk and he refuses it. But this has just happened within the past three weeks. Now that I have been using my frozen supply of milk and pumping occasionally I feel as though my milk supply is starting to dwindle.
Anyway, my question is will my son give in if I stop breastfeeding him altogether? Will he eventually take the bottle without starving himself? How can I get my son to take a bottle?
