10 month old refusing expressed BM after starting formula

[thiskittenbarks]

I was exclusively bf-ing until a week or so ago, when baby was 10 months. I stopped because I am pregnant again and milk really slowed down so baby wasn't happy, plus my nipples were hyper sensitive and baby just got new teeth 😬. Anyway - I have quite a few things of expressed breast milk in the freezer and I was planning on giving him one bottle of BM every other day or something (as I stupidly thought this would stretch the goodness out) but now he has got a taste for formula he won't drink it, or at least will drink not very much of it. I tasted both of them and the formula is a lot sweeter, so I don't blame him really. But I really want him to drink it! Anyone had this? Any tips for getting him to drink it?

Well I had the opposite problem so I used to mix them, gradually increasing the amount of formula. I suppose you could do ot the other way around, or just leave it at a 50/50 mix a couple of times a day.

You could use the breastmilk to make porridge?

It tastes a bit different when defrosted so that may be why. Put it on his weetabix/shredded wheat/ porridge etc.
