What types of nipples have you tried? The First Years Breastflow bottles are supposed to work very well for exclusively breastfed babies. Avent bottles are also great. Any wide neck bottle will be easier than a standard neck bottle. Other than that, you'll just have to keep trying. He'll get it eventually.
My Dr said it doesn't really matter which type of bottle/nipple you give the baby as long as you are consistant... that being said my 5 month old has been in day care for a month in a half and doesn't suck on a bottle, she chews, and is only getting 2-4 oz of milk a day. With my first we bought the ventair bottles with the brown softer nipples, and she did great, and I think they are easier to clean because the bottom screws off.
