Please don't feed your baby with bottle (feeder), you have caused nipple confusion, that's the reason why your baby is refusing to suck directly.
You should GET the baby back on the breasts... Cup and spoon is just an additional measure to feed the baby.
If your baby gets used to the bottle, the baby won't want to feed on the breasts again - Nipple confusion - and your milk may dry up. It is demand and supply.
As for the baby not latching on the breast.
There are reasons why a baby can refuse to suck directly.
It could be your breastfeeding technique is wrong.
The fact your baby is sucking the bottle well shows the problem is not the baby ability to feed but poor attachment of the baby to the breasts on your part.
