Hello
Welcome yo HCM
Its not about ratio, its a habbit. Your child was totally dependent on breast feeding from last 9 months so its difficult and will take time for your child to accept bottle. So you have to try slowly and slowly. But I will advice you if you are house wife, its better to give him breast feeding since now requirement of your child apart from milk is other food products so your less milk will also be sufficient for him.
Thank you
