Transitioning BM to FM

My baby is currently exclusively on breastmilk. Any advises from mums who transitioned their LO from BM to FM... 1. How did you do it? By starting with one feed fully on FM? 2. At what age did you transition them from BM to FM? TIA!

I mixed 30ml FM with 70ml BM at first (was recommended by doctor to do this), baby didn't like and refused it, then I lowered to 15ml FM which was ok. It's trial and error since some babies are more picky than others. I started with 30ml FM per day spreaded to multiple feeds and slowly increased.
