My preference would be to use fingerfeeding rather than bottle feeding, 
and to gently massage the tongue forward during the fingerfeeding. Once 
the baby keeps the tongue tip over the lower gum, he will stop biting. 
It can take awhile for babies to stop doing this, they are used to one 
pattern and it can persist. Most babies in my practice who still used a 
chewing suck did get better with time, using either a supplementer at 
breast (chewing doesn't get anything out of the tube, only sucking does) 
or fingerfeeding with targeted tongue massage.
