My ds has so far been ebf and I am now thinking about moving over to formula as will have to go back to work in a couple of months. Just wondering if anyone has any tips on the best way to do this as i am struggling to know what to do due to that fact that we currently have no routine for bfs I just feed on demand and this is very random, and he is now on three meals a day.
I know that you are supposed to start replacing one feed with formula for a few days, then another and so on but as we have no routine I don't know where to start with this. Also I have no idea how many feeds he should have in the day in addition to his solids.
He takes a bottle fine and i give him a sippy cup of water at each meal which he drinks a bit from but spills most of it down his front :). Should I be making sure he has more water if he moves onto formula?
Thanks in advance for any tips.
