Breast feeding from boob vs Pumping and feeding bottle

I had every intention of breast feeding our two week old and have been trying to every since she was born. She was born three weeks early and was 8lbs 30oz but then she was in pediatics ward for four days because of Jaundice so we had some setbacks on breast feeding. Any ladies out there pumping and giving bottle because your baby prefers it over nipple??

    Yes we've had a similar problem our little one had to be in hospital for five days due to jaundice we had to bottle feed her to make sure she was getting the fluids she needed . I have expressed and used bottle since although keep trying her on breast she doesn't latch right or gets fussy or sleepy . I've had help from the midwife and she does latch but I can't seem to do it on my own and she just wants the bottle .
