Transitioning to bottles during the day

Hi. LO is 6 months old and until recently exclusively BF. For the last two weeks she's had a bottle of formula for her 7pm feed. I always wanted to BF to 6 months and now we're at that stage I'm considering my options around feeding. In the ideal I'd like to continue BF at night but perhaps move to bottles during the day. I'm worried that my supply might nose dive if I do this though and whilst I don't love BF she's my last baby and I'm not ready to stop completely. Can anyone give me any advice on making this work? I feel like I'm in danger of being really ad hoc and giving bottles here and there and not sure that's the right approach. Or perhaps it doesn't matter?

In case relevant we've started weaning and LO is having two 'meals' per day atm - lunch and dinner.

Thanks x

This is exactly what I want to do but also have the same fear. I am considering expressing when she has a bottle of formula to keep supply up?
