Try breastfeeding as much as possible. Bottle feeding is fine. Because many doctors suggest wati spoon but they don't consider the time required to feed 60ml with wati spoon. So bottle is fine just maintain strict hygiene

it is not advisable to give bottle feeding to the child because in the long run it can lead to infections as well as can cause problems in the the tooth eruption of the child.
it is advisable that you should go for either katori spoon feeding and later on with the help of a small baby glass feeding or sipper feeding.

In breast milk baby has to put effort, in bottle feed milk will just flow.. chance of infection is very high in bottle feed
