baby doesn't "like" formula

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
I have EB my baby until recently and I'm finding that she refuses formula at times.
I began the process with just 1/8th formula to bm, but it's taken a lot to get to 1/3rd and now that my milk is nearly gone, I am concerned that she won't take the 100 formula bottles. I use earths best organic. I will try other kinds but don't they all taste the same, or at least try to?
I'll take any advice. My reason for quitting bf is because with the vascuality that bm creates in breasts, I'm not able to get a biopsy of a cluster of calcifications that were discovered on a mammogram. Scary.

Thank you !

    otherwise, it sounds like you're doing the right thing.

    good luck with the

    I've just been able to get my baby to take a bottle recently, but he's never drank formula.  He absolutely refuses.  Even when he was younger he'd sputter and spit when I gave it to him.  (He's 7.5 mo old now)

    I've tried different

    My son is the same way.  I had to drop some pumping sessions so we have been mixing BM and formula for quite a while.  It took quite a while for him to even drink it mixed together.  I asked the RN at the pedi's office about the situation a
