No need to give bottle, just feed him with spoon and start home based weaning food by next month along with breast feeding as much as you can give.

Don't bottle feed. Spoon feeding is proper n dairy milk is preferred. Start weaning with semi solids like suji kheer Dal khichadi etc anyone once in a day for 4 to 5 days n increase gradually.

YOu should not give bottle as it causes many disease, You feed before going to work and in between give all homemade foods mashed well. If you what to give lactogen give it with spoon.
