Bottle feed or breast feed doesn’t make any difference if the baby is drinking adequately. After 2 months of bottle feeding , it’s very difficult for the baby to get accustomed for breast feeding.
Next Steps
Baby will take more milk with bottle as powerful sucking is not required. You can continue to pump and feed the baby.

Hi. Unless you stop bottle feeds the baby will refuse breast feeds . You have to feed by cup and spoon in between the breast feeds . So that the nipple confusion is not there. Take more water .
