Formula fed bottle refusal

My LO is three months old and the last couple of weeks has started to refuse the bottle.

He will take 1 or 2 ozs, wind and then scream as if he's starving but won't then latch onto the teat. After maybe ten minutes of stopping/starting he'll then take some more, and repeat.
The whole process takes a good hour or so!

Anyone share similar experiences? We've just been started on omperazole this weekend as consultant thought the trapped wind could be silent reflux. If it was reflux related would I have already seen an effect?

Could it be teething? Growth spurt? General attitude problem? Haha 😂

Have you tried a comfort formula or tried switching brands? You wouldn't be using Cow & Gate it Aptimil by any chance would you?

Has the GP also suggested the possibility of CMPA?
