A little bit of sweet something on the nipple might help.

Or does he start to drink and then stops once he tastes it?

It could also be not the taste, but the flow rate. If it is coming out way faster or way slower than he likes.

@Baymule ?

He tastes it and then stops

I’ve only raised 2 bottle lambs. They didn’t like the powdered formula either. I used a whole milk formula,

1 gallon whole milk-store bought
1can evaporated milk
1cup cultured buttermilk

Pour our 3 cups milk
Pour in can of evaporated milk
Pour in 1 cup buttermilk
Top off with milk

My 2 babies did great on it, I snuck in some yukky powdered formula to stretch out the cow milk.
