Assalam o alaikum.
give new born only breast milk.
breast feed your baby atleast 10 to 12 times to establish the milk production and offer both breast and make sure that baby is sucking the nipple efficiently.
stay well hydrated,eat well balanced diet and take iron. calcium and multivitamin.
it will be then difficult to switch your baby from bottle milk to breast feed if you will not try now

Its on demand supply, the more you feed, the more milk baby will get. Avoid top feeds as top feeds decrease the milk supply as for the baby it's much easier to feed from bottle than to struggle sucking breast milk.
Feed more frequently and for a longer period from both sides whether there is milk or not. Switch sides at least 2 to 3 times in one sitting. You can use breast pump, too.
Don't give pacifier, bottle or any other milk to baby.
Drink plenty of fluids , take adequate rest & good sleep , add milk in your diet.
Oatmeal, corns , saunf, fenugreek (methi) and home made punjeri increases the milk production
