Hiya, I've decided to switch baby from breastfeeding to formula due to a long list of reasons mostly my own mental health and to save mine and baby's relationship!! I've given her 3 bottles of formula over the last 24 hours to check she's alright with it and she's fine so I'm pretty sure I'm going to do it. Just wondered what other people's experiences of switching have been?
I've decided to switch slowly rather than cold turkey for 3 reasons, a. i don't want the extra pain and risk of mastitis, b. she might as well have the extra breast milk and c. i might as well burn the extra calories. Just wondering the best way to switch gradually? Just pump off what I need to be comfortable and try and go as long as i can in between expressing, or to generally pump at the same time she has formula or ebm cutting out one feed a day? How long will it take for me to stop producing?
Thanks a lot!
