How to get baby on formula?

I've been BF since my daughter's been born, but now I'm ready to start weaning her off and on to formula. I don't think she likes the taste because she won't drink it. At first I thought it was the bottle but she's drank my milk from the bottle in the past.

?I've only tried Enfamil Gentleease formula. Is there a formula that might taste more like my BM?

TIA?

    What I did w/ DD was to pump and mix some bm w/ formula. You can start off w/ more bm than formula and then decrease it as she adjusts to the taste. DD had no problems doing it this way.

    Good luck!

    I'm doing the same- slowly weaning off pumping/nursing, so we're doing 2oz formula with 4oz BM. He never even flinched!

    Also using gentlease!

    I did this first time I gave DS formula--worked like a charm. half bm/half formula. he sucked it all right up!
