3 month old baby fussy feeding

Hi everyone needing abit of advice as I'm starting to get to my wits end. My 12 week old little girl has recently started to become fussy with her bottles, she will take her first two feeds of the day with no fighting but keeps protesting against her afternoon and evening feeds. She normally feeds every 3 hours taking between 5-6oz but lately when I try her with her 12, 3 and 6 o'clock bottles she screams the place down. She will take a few gulps when I give her the bottle but will then push off it and cries herself into state I then try to calm her down to try her with the bottle again and the bottle just sets her off again. She will finally cave into the bottle after about 5-10mins of protesting, sometimes taking the whole feed and others times only taking a couple of ounces. On a bad day her protesting is so bad that she will not take her afternoon feeds at all and will only take her evening feed, obviously this is starting to be abit of a concern cause it means she is going without a feed for nearly 6 hours. Any mums got any advice?

Thanks

Katrina xx
