Don't worry: Make sure your nipples are clean and healthy. Besure not to leave soap residue, sometimes baby tastes something in your milk and is turned off. Try pumping and putting it in a bottle to see if he will take your milk that way. Check to make sure you are not eating things that change the taste of your milk, ie spicy foods, .

Keep trying: To have the formula from a bottle is easier for a baby because of the nipple opening is wider. It's much harder for them to get a milk from the breast. Keep on trying to breastfeed prior to the supplement infant with a formula. Be patient.
