Mixed feeding advice please

[username6778]

Posted this on infant feeding but got no replies so thought I would try here.
Currently pregnant with DC2 and attempting to wean DD off breastfeeding. DD was exclusively bf for the first six months she is now 2 and would probably still bf a lot longer if i let her.
Whilst I loved bf DD she never took a bottle (I think I left it too late due to fear of her preferring the bottle) so I didn't try until she was 7 weeks. Also she has never really cut down day and night and it has been hard. I just don't think I have it in me to do that again especially as I will have two to look after.
Would really appreciate some advice on how you mixed fed. When did you introduce a bottle? How much do you know to give them in terms of formula if they are having breast milk as well? Did you find they sleep better if I you give them a bottle last thing at night? Any advice/experience would be great thanks

Try to wait until breastfeeding is well-established before introducing a bottle. Then offer your baby one bottle-feed a day to begin with, to give your breasts time to adjust and to let baby get used to feeding from a bottle.
It is generally better to substitute a single feed with formula than to top-up breastfeeds.
Try to establish a routine by bottle-feeding or breastfeeding at the same time each day so that your body will adapt to produce less milk when it isn’t needed. In the early days it is generally better to give formula in the daytime rather than at night, when your hormones are at a higher level for breastmilk production. Bf at night helps you to maintain your supply.
Formula feeds should be quite small to mimic the feeding pattern of a bf baby and so the baby doesn’t get used to larger volumes of milk at certain feeds, which can then lead to the need to top up with formula at each breastfeed.
Let someone else give the first bottle to stop any chance of your baby smelling your milk and wanting to latch on. If someone else isn’t available, you could try holding them in a different position, such as facing away from you.
Slow-flow teats mimic the flow that a baby is used to from bf.
