Does Bottle-feeding Cause Ear Infection In A Baby?

Hi...my daughter is 9 months old. she got some ear infection. ENT Doctor told that there is some infection in the outer layer. The paediatrician told that since I am giving her milk from bottle, it has caused her this infection. Is it true? For ear infection, the doctor prescribed clavam bid 200mg, ibugesic syrup and nutrolin-B syrup for 5 days. Today she is getting loose motions. I had started giving her medicines since friday. Are all these medicines necessary for such a small kid?
