How can i ween off my 2 mth old son from breast to bottle. i have been trying for the past 3 days & he isn't drinking the formula?

Weaning: First thing I always advise is have someone else do the bottle feedings at the beginning-Dad, grandparent, friend, neighbor. Mom should totally leave the house for a little while and not be anywhere near .the baby-they really can tell if mom is around. It may take a little while so don't be upset if he takes awhile to adjust. Good luck
