How to accept formula milk?

How do I guide my 2mo baby to drink formula? He accepts the bottle only if its breastmilk but will reject once he taste formula. My 1st born wasn't like this, so I don't know how to overcome this.

Try to mix with BM. For example if baby typically takes 150ml, can start off by making 50ml formula + 100ml BM. Gradually increase the proportion for FM. My baby eventually takes the full FM aft 2 wks or so.

If he reject, then you don’t feed. Once hungry , will drink. That’s what my fren do when her baby reject her frozen bm (cos if metallic taste).

I also transiting, but she doesn’t like total FM. She is 10 months now

try different brand, sometimes they don't like the taste of milk

Maybe can try different brand? Or mix with bm? Like 50-50?

You have to keep trying, change another fm and try again

can try another brand or wait till baby is very hungry

Try giving when baby is super hungry

get someone else to feed the formula
