which bf feed to swap for ff

I need to swap one of dd's daytime feeds for formula as it takes me 3 expressing sessions to get enough for 1 feed & am now back at work 2 days (Also have 2 other kids so not much time or energy to devote to expressing). Would it be better to drop the 11am or 2pm or won't it make any difference? Is it possible that I could still bf this feed the other 5 days if I introduce formula on work days? Will my dd start to like formula more than me?? Aargh, next I can get stressed about when to wean...

I started by swapping the lunchtime feed as it meant I could go out for lunch without getting my morks out and it was also the shortest time before he would need another feed IYKWIM, so my boobs didn't get too uncomfortable between breakfast and tea.
How old is your dd? I think if you've been feeding for a good while it shouldn't affect your supply but I'm sure a bf expert will be able to tell you about this better than I can.
I didn't have any problem with him prefering bottle to breast until he realised he could look around with the bottle and started getting frustrated with having to stare at me while breast feeding.
