Hi..i understand your situation but sorry to say it takes time.. try continuously by changing bottles, brands of top milk.. if possible you can try with expressed breast milk initially

The basic crux of giving feeds to babies is maintain sufficient gap inbetween 2 feeds.
At this age,it should be atleast 3 hours,don't wake him up for a feed,give nothing else by mouth.
Formulae powder already has sugar,so avoid mixing more,but if your baby likes it,you can try it,but not too much,as it'll lead to loose motions.
