Hi there
I have recently been offered a new job where I will be working part time and doing either 3x evening shifts or 2x night shifts per week. This is inset was of returning to my ok job which would have been full time mon-fri. My DP works mon-fri so our childcare needs will be minimal and both sets of parents are able to cover this.
My DS will be 6-7mo by the time I actually start this job. Currently he is exclusively breast fed. Ideally I would like to continue to bf as much as possible but obviously we will be starting to wean by then and will likely need to start combination feeding.
When/how should we start introducing this? Is it better to just switch to formula by then? I'm a bit unsure of the logistics. At present, DS (17wo) will take a bottle of EBM from my DP but will not take one from me. Should I be trying to feed him from a bottle?
Thanks in advance!
