Making the switch. Any tips? Help please!

Question

My son is 2 months old. I have been trying to make the switch from the breast, to bottle/formula because I am no longer producing as much as I used to, & I will be starting work soon. 
I’ve tried 2 different bottles, I’ve tried playing with the temperature of the formula/bottle nipple, I’ve even tried tricking him. He’ll suck for about 30 secs or so, & then stop. 
Any suggestions? Please help, I am starting to get desperate 😩 
If it helps any, I am giving him Similac(blue can).

Answer

It took us a lot more than two different bottles to find one my son would use.

Answer

Try mixing it with your milk. Also don't be the one giving baby the bottle if at all possible. Start with dad or grandma and leave the house if you can. They can smell you and their your milk and will refuse till yo come. That's the only way I got my baby girl to take a bottle. 
Also these bottles are the o ly ones out of 7 kinds we tried that she took because she could latch to it..

Answer

Have you tried mixing your breastmilk with formula see if that helps 1oz of formula the rest breastmilk, also get someone else to feed baby with bottle so he doesn’t smell you milk.. and when baby half asleep try bottle then instead of when they fully awake.. My little girl wouldn’t take a bottle forages but since I gave her one to play with (she puts the teat in her mouth practices sucking on it) at 5months old she now will drank from one she’s nearly 6months.. I’m EBF to so know the struggle hun it tuck this long for her to be interested in a bottle. 🙄 keep trying hun good luck
