Can anyone offer me some advice?

Since Hannah was 4 weeks I have been expressing my milk for her more than 95% of the time as I just found it too painful to put her on the breast. She has been taking 7oz for the last 1-1.5 months but over the last 4-5 days she is only taking 4oz at a feed and just refuses to take any more, getting frustrated if I keep offering the bottle. I havent been doing anything different (or changed my diet) and today tried a different type of bottle which made no difference so then went out and got a Dr Browns bottle and again, no difference.

Recently I have been putting her on the breast for her morning feed but she was still taking her usual 7oz from a bottle the rest of the day until now.

Also today I have put her on the breast once she gives up with the bottle and she will only take one side (the side that doesnt produce anywhere near as much as the other one!).

She isnt asking for feeds any quicker than she was before (approx every 4 hours) and I'm just worried she isnt taking in enough.

Hope that all makes some kind of sense!
Anyone any ideas?

Could she be teething?

She is drooling lots and her hands are forever in her mouth but I cant see or feel anything. She seems just as happy as she ever was too.

Yes, that's the teeth then. Probably the reason why she isn't eating as much. Should settle in a day or too. Try some teething powders.

Also, could be the heat - my one really isn't interested if it is too warm.
