Just put her to the breast as much as possible. Let stay on as long as she wants.

I have been trying to do that she gets frustruated with the flow of the breastmilk because she is used to the bottle, i even try when she is not too hungry, but i will keep trying thank you so much

Try to put her to it whenever you get the chance. I was in the same position with my daughter (29 wkr) I was never able to get her to feed from the breast. She was just to small to stay latched properly. I pumped for 3 months and dried up. Just make sure she is keeps gaining weight. That was the one thing that made it so I had to give up all together and formula feed
