My 9 month old will not drink formula

My 9 month old will not drink formula

I have been breastfeeding my son for the past 9 months and have recently started working. I can't produce enough milk to keep him satisfied while I am gone through out the day. I have tried giving him 2 different types of formula and he refuses to drink it. Is there any formula that is semi- close to breastmilk? Or is there anything I can do to increase my milk supply so I'm able to pump enough for him?

from what i have heard, the more milk that comes out the more you make. he should only be taking a few bottles a day, and eating solid table food at that age.

Babies this age should still be receiving the majority of their nutrition from breastmilk or formula. That means they need more than "a few bottles" each day.

Both of my older kids were taking 6-8 bottles a day totally 24-32 ounces for my daughter, and about 48 ounces for my son.
