Since your baby is used to sucking and feeding your milk since last 3.5 months, he won’t like the taste and mode of feeding formula
I would suggest you to take measures to optimise your breastfeeding rather than giving formula, such as
1. Drink 2-3 liters of water per day
2. Feed more at night
3. Eat nutritious food
4. Do not stress yourself
How are you giving the formula? Via paladai or spoon or bottle? Bottle feeding and breastfeeding mechanisms are different, it will be difficult for a breastfed baby to accept bottle feeding
Kindly consult for further assistance
