I have breastfed my DD for 11 weeks, other than issues with over supply and the expected green poo and biting, it has been quite good actually!!
However, I had always planned to swap to formula once teething started, especially as I am already getting bitten (symptom of oversupply, DD tries to stem the flow) and don't fancy sharpe little teeth on my already bruised and sensitive nipples.
What methods and tips can anyone suggest that will make this easier?? I have read a couple of threads and some people said they had trouble swapping, what other ways are there to avoid pain?
Also, I was a research scientist and my idea of sterile is totally differant (flames, high pressure, super hot steam etc!) to the levels required for feeding formula. I don't want to make a mistake and harm my DD and neither do I want to be forever sterilsing everything. What is ok and what isan't??
