Avoid bottle if possible. Giving breast milk by wati spoon if not sucking. Mostly it's a temporary problem as baby will start suckling soon .

This can be due to nipple confusion since you're giving bottle too. The babies will prefer whatever they find easier. You should stop feeding by bottle and see.
