currently breastfeeding 10 week old dd1, very interested in all this blw stuff, thinking ahead to 6 months time. i get the idea of blw working perfectly with breastfed babies because in effect breastfeeding is self feeding, and ideally blw would go hand in hand with continued breastfeeding. however, how does it pan out if dd is switched onto formula at 6 months ish? i plan to breastfeed til 6 months all being well, dd will be starting nursery at 8 months for 3 days a week. am i perhaps best to express to cover time at nursery and continue til 12 months? i do love the simplicity of breastfeeding and hence blw. aitch, i understand from your blog (fab by the way!) that you use formula too? could you explain?
