Droppng daytime breastfeeds

DD 6 months is now having formula feeds during the day alongside meals and finger foods. She is eating really well (read anything!) and is taking a bottle like a dream considering she was a refuser so I feel she was ready for the transition and I am going back to work soon.

I am still breastfeeding during the night and she is taking three hourly feeds (sometimes more). She doesn't seem ready for bottles in the night yet and still feeds to sleep at night (this has stopped during the day and she naps after formula). It has been around 6 days.

I am happy to carry on the night feedng for as long as she needs but will my supply be ok? It has always been really good and I assume that what we are doing is the same as if she was bfing during the day and then sleeping through. I haven't been expressing during the day and my boobs seem to have adjusted really quickly. What do you think?

Sounds good so far! Hopefully an expert will be along soon to confirm.

Sounds ok to me too but I'm no expert either.
