Reject breast milk?

Hi mommies. My baby is mixed breast milk and formula fed. Not latching. When he is at my mil place he is more formula fed and when he’s back at home he is full breast milk. Recently he is rejecting my thawed breast milk. And now he is a little rejecting my freshly pumped milk. Anyone experience the same? Any solutions?

probably he is too used to formula milk taste. usually if mixed feeing it's formula fed in the middle of the night so that baby overall is still taking breastmilk throughout the day
