After 5 months EBF can I just BF at night?

Just that really. Have loved BF but bottle of formula has now been introduced each evening and it's going well. We've made lots of changes including getting dd into a cot after 5 months of cosleeping. I think I've nearly had enough of BF; one side is constantly sore with a recurring bleb, and feeds are spacing out more, so supply is dropping ( because of formula).
If I choose to slowly introduce more bottles, will I be able to BF middle of the night feeds. There are approximately 2 at the moment. Or will my supply not manage it?

Hey :)
Absolutely fine to bf at night. Happily, bfing is often very robust and flexible by this stage - can be adapted to suit your needs. Middle of the night feeds good for maintaining supply and lovely connection with your LO. Any milk your LO is receiving from you is fab - its a living thing protecting her and building her brain and body - awesome!

Sorry you are in pain :( that must be tedious. Constantly sore is no fun and very tiring. I'm just going to try and find good info on blebs to see u can resolve it.
