My son is 6 months old and I'm trying to switch him from breast milk to formula but, he's just not having it... I've tried several types of formula and he won't drink any of them... any suggestions???

If you are still able to express milk, try mixing half of your breastmilk w/ half of formula... then slowly take away the breastmilk until there is just formula left.   My first son was put on a soy formula for lactose intolerance.  When he was finally able to deal with whole cow's milk, he was so used to the soy taste, he just wouldn't drink the cows milk.  So we did that with our son, and I'm proud to say he likes his milk!   Good luck.
