Baby prefers formula over breast milk :(

I had to go out of town for a couple days for work and my parents kept my baby. I gave them all my frozen breast milk and formula for backup in case they needed it. They tested one formula bottle to make sure she would eat it and now she only wants the formula and won’t take my breast milk anymore. I’m so upset because I still want to breastfeed and have a great supply. Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions? Thanks so much!! Update: it just took nursing on mama a few times 🥰

Any possibility the frozen breast milk was high liapse? That could be why

Try nursing straight from the tap?

Try mixing it, and nursing too, what's baby's age?

@Rowan I thought maybe that too, but she’s drank high liapse before and had no issue.

@Bethany now that I’m home with her again, I tried briefly and she was sort of fussy but also drinking a little and then fell asleep really quickly so next feeding fingers crossed!!

@Priscilla my parents said they tried half and half in the bottle and she wouldn’t drink it :/ she’s almost 3 months. I just got home to her and tried to nurse and she was a little fussy but still nursed a little but then fell asleep really quickly so I’ll have to attempt again the next feeding and hope for the best!

It could’ve been the baby bottle they used. Is the bottle breastfeeding friendly?
