That is completely normal. I had to pump and use that from the bottle to get my son to even think about taking it. After that i started mixing the breast milk and formula together...each week droppin the amount of breastmilk and upping the formula until he was drinking straight formula. Im guessing switching from breastmilk to formula 4 them is about the equivilent of us switching from coke to diet coke lol.

Formula has a completely fifferent taste than breastmilk, its quite normal for babies to refuse it the first time. Try mixing the two together, first mostly breastmild... then slowly start adding more formula to the mix!

When introducing Formula you need to mix breast milk with the formula ~ you mix just before feeding ~ start out at 3 parts breast milk for a few days then 50/50 then 1 part breast milk until she transitions :)

What I did when I switched over, was half formula and half breastmilk so she could get used to the taste.. also our Ped. suggested Similac advance as the best formula for breastfed babies something about it being easier on their little tummies. Good luck!

yep my daughter was the same so i changed the formula to a diffrent type but she will only take about 3oz before she wants the breast again. i`m just going to keep giving it her untill she grows use to it.
