Bottle and breast-fed babies have a very different stool pattern. Bottle-fed babies usually having a dirty nappy every day or at least every second day.

Allowing the baby to sleep sucking on the bottle is a no no! Plain water is okay, but milk and juices can rot the teeth pretty quickly. That's called "baby bottle mouth".
