Hi, I'm switching my daughter from breast to formula (long litany of breastfeeding problems, and still feeding every hour and a half throughout the night at 14 weeks which has left me pretty tired and desperate). She's been having one 120ml top up bottle in the evenings and takes formula fine. My question is on quantities during the transition period while I drop feeds. I want to get her eventually to have 5 formula feeds a day (180-200mls on general advice). I'm currently breastfeeding her around 12 times a day so she's used to having a lot less, although I know she can drink that amount as she has done last thing at night when I have expressed for her. How much should I be feeding her and how often until I have stopped producing milk? Many thanks.
