This can be both heart-breaking and frustrating in equal measures
there are several strategies that work
Step one: ensure the baby cannot read your anxiety so relax and start to deep breath and what is really helpful is sing to your baby it really helps relax the body and connects so well with the baby
Step two: ensure the bottle or the breast is not a place of anxiety so play with the bottle ( make it into a plane or a boat). Try playing with your baby with a bare chest to help normalise being in close to your baby in a relaxed situation
Step three: time is important. Avoid panic and rushing things. Go at your baby's pace.
