I would discourage using bottle.
Reasons
1: causing infection
2: needs more time in preparation if given properly
3: bottle nipple is soft so child gets habitual to that and will not take breastfeed directly
4 : habitual to bottle and will not stop even till early childhood age and that cause sometimes behaviour problems
5: developments of eating milestones are not properly achieved with bottle feeding.
Many more are there .
Next Steps
Exclusive breastfeed till 6 complete months.
