Hi, I'm due to return to work 3 days per week next month and not sure what to do with BF. My DD is 8 months and has 4 BF per day and 3 meals. She takes a bottle no problem as I expressed from 5 weeks. We've also tried her with a bottle of Aptamil and she took that too. I thought I would have introduced formula by now, but I'm not sure I'm ready to give up BF. Whilst at work I won't be able to do the first feed because I start work too early. I will however be able to do the nighttime feeds. Do I need to introduce formula for the feeds I'm not going to be there to do every day? Is it possible to continue as normal, and DD can have a bottle when I'm not there? In an ideal world I would like her to have a bottle at nursery and for me to BF when she's with me. Not sure if this is unrealistic? Many thanks for your help.
