Default Bart trying to nurse from my other dogs!

Hi. About 11 days ago, we added an adorable male Yorkie - Bart - to our home. He's about 12 weeks old. We have two other small dogs - a Lhasa and a Shih Tzu, both females and both very friendly and sweet. Bart is very friendly and desperately wants to meet the girls, but everytime I put him down, he tries to nurse from them! They tolerate him, are curious, and even sniff him (while he's in my arms), but the minute I try to put Bart next to them, he's going for their bellies! I mentioned this, and the fact that he's indifferent to his food, to my vet. She suggested putting Espilac (a milk replacer) on his food. The Espilac has helped with his eating - chowing down 3 times a day now - but it hasn't curbed his enthusiasm for the girls' boobies. They're confused - so am I!

Does anyone have suggestions? Been through this before?

Thanks.
