Formula feeds through bottle is always dangerous bcos it will leads to infections. Give feeds with steel cup and spoon, Baby will accept feeds easily with cup & spoon easily when compared with bottle.
Next Steps
assess the amount of daily feed requirements along with proper dilutions .

do proper burping after each feeds and always feed the baby in semierect position in mother's lap.
