I was on antibiotics for a month because I got a bad case of phnumonia and I had to stop breastfeeding, now that it’s over I am trying to get my son to go back to the breast. He seem to nurse frequently but at times will scream and cry, I will offer him the breast and he rejects it, once I give him the bottle of formula he will drink 3-4 ounces and then will want to nurse. What things can I do to comepletly wean him from the bottle?

Some babies just dont take to the breasts and theres nothing u can do except pumping your milk and feeding it to him in a bottle. At least that way he would be getting the benefits of breastmilk.
this may sound funny but hold the nipple of the bottle to yours and make sure he knows it is there. after he get used to that sneek it of during breastfeeding and he will g to the actual nipple thinking he slipped.
hope i helped
