A. Thank you..... So coukd it be the foul smell? coz I noticed she sometimes gags as if vomiting... I have also noticed she does not close her mouth to create suction on bottle nipple and instead pushes nipple side to side with tongue

A. this happens with most of the exclusively breastfed babies.. please check the bottle nipple if it is is having a proper flow or not. sometimes bottle nipple emits a foul smell which makes a baby feel bad while having formula milk or even mother's milk. if everything is fine then try to feed baby with spoon and bowl so that transition from mother's source to bottle feed becomes easy. you can do this by trying formula milk. and for engorgement continue feeding your child from yourself.
