I've just converted from BF to FF as I'm returning to work. I just started substituting one feed at a time for a few days, then another and gradually over 3 or 4 weeks we stopped. I stopped her night feed last as I was hoping to keep it- but my supply has diminished rapidly. She's taking roughly 6-7oz and I've just started weaning her. I still feed on demand. I started off with 5oz bottles and when she drained them just increased them by an oz until there was a little left after most feeds. Her routine is roughly:

7am 7oz bottle
11am 7 oz bottle
2pm 7 oz bottle
5 pm 7oz bottle and veg puree
7pm Usually takes around 5-6oz
2300-0100 Usually has around 5-6 oz. Doesn't always wake for this.

Hope this helps!
