Reverting a bottle preference?

Has anyone been able to revert their babies bottle preference? My girl is 12 weeks old and she recently (as of two weeks) has wanted a bottle too up! She’s progressively latching on my breast for shorter and shorter amounts of time before she literally won’t latch anymore as if shes full and doesn’t want but I know she’s still hungry as she barely drank and when offered the bottle she has no problem having it. We have gotten really slow teats! I’m still trying to give her breast every feed but she’s beginning to refuse it entirely! How can I change the preference?!! And if you’ve done it before, let me know how long it took and what you did differently to help pls!

Cold milk in the bottle and a slower flow nipple

And more skin to skin

Following. Same issue!

I had a similar issue - lots of skin to skin, co-bathing, offering both boobs, do some breast compressions whilst she's feeding to help her out, offer slightly less in the bottle and then offer your boob straight after. Good luck x

Read this post. I read about bottle preference at this age all the time but it might be more this than anything else… good news is if you at in for 2 weeks, it should be over soon. https://www.instagram.com/p/C9mmCPutCNr/?igsh=MWZ4MnpxdzV3bGx3ZQ==
