Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
First and most important step you have to take is to stop bottle feeding.
Milk has low iron, it decreases appetite, second be patience, make sure while feeding there is no distraction, don't use gazet to make the child eat. Try to feeding a playful manner and with family.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
