Stop bottle and give direct breast feeding or via paladai .If u want to continue breast feeding it is advisable to stop bottle feeding as it will cause nipple confusion and baby will not latch later. Signs of good latching are:- Baby's chest and stomach rest against your body, so that head is straight, not turned to the side. Chin touches your breast. Mouth opens wide around the areola, not just the nipple. Lower lip is  turned out.
