Any advice on switching from breast to bottle? (Also in bottlefeeding)
Hi there,
We've decided to make the switch from breast to bottle as bf just not working for us. The midwife advised doing alternate formula/breast feeds which is obviously causing me to balloon between the bf's and be mightily uncomfortable. Does anyone have any advice as to how it worked for you?
Many Thanks
Clare

I started with mixed feeding - so gradually reduced the breast feed and topped up with formula, until gradually the formula took over. That way milk supply gradually decreased - but did take a long time to dry up!
Hope this helps.
