2 months on simalac expert $30 per can , is it too late for me to start to nurse? i do still have milk . will breast milk help his stomach?

No: It is certainly not too late. Only concern would be if you produce enough milk to meet the demand. Even if formula supplement has to be provided, it is worth trying. Tangible benefits are not only for infants but also for breast-feeding moms.

Not too late: It is never too late. Nurse and pump frequently (ie. Every 2-3 hrs) until your milk supply catches up to your baby's demand. It is very likely to help.
