Did anyone have latch issues after a bottle or paci?

My LO is 6 weeks, we have introduced bottles this week and have been using a pacifier more to help with sleep and fussiness. She is beginning to have trouble latching. She is not opening her mouth wide or putting in any effort to latch. If u put her on my breast, she still doesn't latch. She gets frustrated, cries and shakes her head back and forth. What should I do?!?

    Try to get her back to breast when she's not that hungry like maybe an hour after a bottle when she's nice and calm. Some babies like the faster flow of a bottle and lose patients with the breast.

    My 6 week old started not opening her mouth as wide this week and has been doing BF, bottle and paci all since day one since was in the nicu. I read sometimes they can get lazy. I would like to know how to fix it too though!
