So here the problem lies in the bottle.
In bottle, milk leaks so the child doesn't have to make an effort while in breastfeeding the child has to suck to get the milk so now child becomes fussy while breast fed.
If breast milk is enough, then start with breast feed everytime followed by formula milk, if required, with bowl and spoon. Stop bottle feeding completely.
This is a tough way because initially the child will become very irritable
