I was in the same boat! Everyone on here is amazing and will give you as much knowledge ever. Just like Yorkiemom101 said, mix the canned food with the formula and water and mush it all up.
My morkie Daisy is just about 8 weeks old (she was like 6 when i got her) and had to feed her with a syringe because she had no idea what a bowl was. I now mixed 1 teaspoon Royal Canine "Starter Mousse" moved onto the puppy royal canine, 1 teaspoon of her formula and two teaspoons of water and she gobbles it all down.
I agree with Maximo, try different dishes. Daisy would only eat off the floor at first, then moved onto a stainless little bowl, to a slightly bigger bowl, and now she will eat and drink out of whatever bowl I give her.
Being so young, a lot of patience is needed. But they will bring lots and lots of joy to you and your wife
