From breastfeeding to formula

[Sakura03]

My ds is 6.5 months and is starting nursery in July and I return to full time work in August. Therefore I’ve decided to slowly stop breastfeeding and have so far introduced one formula feed which I started last week. I wasn’t sure where to start really but I’ve swapped the lunch feed out, I now want to introduce another bottle but not sure when (what feed)?
To be honest I’m a little confused about it all, probably because I’ve always fed on demand and now I feel I need a schedule which I don’t really have... my ds is a boob monster, he falls asleep on the boob whenever he sleeps in the house so I feel a little anxious and unsure about how to go about it.
Has anyone done this? What’s your feeding schedule for your 6-7 month old? And how much should he have per feed? We’ve started weaning and so far he’s on two meals a day, breakfast and lunch. I would really appreciate to hear from some experienced mums.

As far as I can remember we started with a bottle at bedtime, purely so that my husband could spend more time with DD as he works silly hours. It's not too stressful doing it when you're out and about although we did buy ready made bottles if we knew we were going somewhere it might be trickier/cause added stress.

I haven't done this personally but my friend has. I remember she said she found it easier to introduce each bottle as the next formula feed. So, first bottle at lunch, then following feed a bottle too. This was because her dd was on and off the boob all day and a bit of a snacker so she knew if she waited 3 hours or whatever from the last bottle, then she would be hungry and obviously didn't offer breast in between. She continued this pattern, introducing a new formula feed every couple of days until she had fully weaned onto formula.

Thank you, my son is very much a snacker too so not sure how this works with formula particularly during the night. Would anyone be able to suggest a feeding schedule?
