DD is now 8mths and I have been back at work 6 weeks. I would really like to give up bf soon, but cant see dd ever doing that. She is a boob lover. After being a bottle hater she will take formula on occasions at nursery, but not all the time. Any tips on giving up bf?

Do you want to give up completely?
It is perfectly feasible to just give her water when you are not with her and feed her when you are.

I did this for 2 1/2 years despite working f/t.

I like the night feed but would like to give her the bottle in the day. But not sure if she would do it if I was there.

She would probably.
The good thing is that she won't actually need milk in the day.
Mine never had any milk or formula apaprt from breastmilk.
