It's nipple confusion

Maybe your breastmilk secretion is not adequate for your baby ma,that's why he is crying when you feed him..
Next Steps
And the reason why he is comfortable with bottle feed is, it's easy for babies to suck from bottle than from breast and he also gets enough milk through bottle feed.
Health Tips
you can take lactare tablets or lactaways granules to increase your breastmilk secretions.

Replace formula with expressed breast milk given with cup and spoon .Stop using bottle.
Breast feeding should be done 8-12 times a day.

Hi,
Do not give bottle feeds, bottle nipple are very soft hence when you put the bottle, the milk will start flowing and baby will start drinking.
For the mother’s milk, baby has to latch and then suck for the milk, so baby refuses breast milk because of the hard work.
Next Steps
Stop bottle and give formula with spoon or pallada only.
