going to formula

Hello ladies.

We are now at 8 months and still bfeeding. Although today i have decided to start with ff. I'm not convinced she is getting the milk she needs from me during the day.

She seems to have 20mins on me in the morning (anything from about 5am onwards!) then another 10 - 20 mins about an hour later. During the day we demand feed, but she only goes on for a couple of minutes at a time. Every so often she will then feed for a good 30 mins, but this doesn't happen very often. then a bedtime feed, which again will last anything from 20mins to an hour!

This afternoon, she has had three 5 min feeds off me so about 3.30pm i gave her a ff of 5oz which she took.
I think i will give her a week then try a bedtime bottle as well and then i will be down to one feed from me in the morning. I will miss it terribly, and am a bit sad but am beginning to find during the day a bit draining. I wouldn't mind if she was to have a proper feed from me.
