Brief Answer:
Bottle

Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question. Often babies will refuse the bottle when they have an infection. It could be something as simple as a harmless vital infection, but they still experience decreased appetite.
I recommend consulting with your doctor so that your baby can be examined. Then the correct diagnosis can be made and the appropriate treatment plan implemented.
