He is probably biting you and ripping at your nipples because he is frustrated that there isn't as much milk as there used to be.Because of him having formula, your breasts have adjusted to the lower demand with a lower supply, and so he is probably mad that its not like it used to be.
Breastfeeding for 10 months is AWESOME and I'm really glad you did it so long.
It's very common that a baby won't take a bottle from Mom---they know you have the "Good Stuff" and are wondering why you are offering the bottle.It will most likely just take time. And the more days that pass, your breasts will make less and less, and then (hopefully) maybe he will LIKE the bottle because the milk is plentiful there.
