Bottles once started are generally preferred by the baby. As they are easy and free flow. Please discontinue bottle completely. If you have to give expressed milk or formula please give with vati and spoon. Slowly she will forget the bottle association and come back to the breast. Remember not to give up and expect some tantrums.

Jyoti do not worry. This is because baby finds it easier to feed from bottle. That is why most doctors recommend feeding by spoon. Keep giving your baby your milk but if she still refuses first give yours and then feed from spoon. You can express too. Slowly she ll come completely on your feed.
