Hello, ive been combination feeding for the first week after having baby, but have decided to go solely onto bottle. What can I expect now? I haven't fed baby breast since yesterday and already they are very sore and heavy. Can anyone share their advice/experiences please

Hello, when I wanted to stop I reduced bfing by replacing one feed a day with a bottle for three days, then another. I didn't find my boobs got too sore and the tradition was fairly smooth.

It will help if you hand express a little bit until you feel more comfortable. However the heaviness and discomfort should ease over the next couple of days.
