How long to try formula?

in April 2013 Moms
We are trying to supplement with a little formula because I just can't pump enough while I'm not with her. I tried 1oz formula 3oz BM three times she hated it, I tried just all formula twice and she still hated it.
I dont have much BM to keep trying. Should I try a different kind?
What has worked for you? Thanks

    I took about a month to fully wean. They took 4oz a feeding at the time so we started with 1oz formula 3oz BM. Then after a day or two we did, half and half and then just kept doing 3oz formula 1oz BM until my stash was gone. I figured the longer I could stretch just that little bit of BM the better. We kept about 16oz frozen to mix when they are sick too.

    We took about 2 weeks total to see if that formula worked for us. We are using similac sensitive.

    Ps. I have a friend who is really happy with the "Similac for Supplementing" I don't know if anyone else could chime in on that I just know she's a fan!

    I heard the different types of formula taste different, so maybe you might want to switch up a brand?

    Try it cold AND room temp.  LO always hated room temp formula,but took to it right away when cold.  He still doesn't like the pre-made kind, only powdered.
