Why Is Two Month Old Not Taking Formula?

I'm exclusively breast feeding my two month old daughter. I want to continue breast feeding but introduce her formula too. I've tried two kinds of formula (enfamil: powder & similac: liquid), but every time I feed her breast milk she throws up all the formula. I even tried mixing my milk with formula & she didn't even try it. She just kept crying very loudly as if I was hurting her.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi..There is no need of formula feed as the breast milk is adequate and best for the baby till the age of six months.Later you can introduce it gradually. Also you should feed from one side of breast for 10 to 15 minutes and with proper positioning and attachment.
