Okey so we are wanting to wean our daughter on to formula. How do I do it?to i start with replacing one of the day feeds, and then replace the night feed, or the other way? How 'fast" should you do it? like replace 1 feed with formula and then wait a week and then replace on more?
TIA
I think to give your body time to adapt start with one feed and then after a few days try another, that way both your baby and your body will get used to things.
The slower the better for you and for baby.
At least a few days, but a week would be better. You will have very sore breats and be at risk of engorgement and mastitis if u do it too quickly. If they get engorged only express a little for comfort.
Start with the day feeds, cos once she is having more and more formula in the day, she may not require as many night feeds.
