Hi
Ive been exclusively BFing my DD for 6 months now and want to stop BFing before I go back to work. She’s started solids and have started to replace one lunch time feed with formula milk in bottle which she has been taking quite well (MA). I want to just replace one or two daytime feeds with formula and still BF until she is 9 mo and as I go back to work full time then stop BF altogether.
AH I have quite a heavy supply and missing one feed means I am leaking so much and breast feel super heavy so I acc can’t wait for her to empty it out at the next feed..this may sound stupid but I know BFing works with supply and demand so will my body just understand that she won’t need a lunchtime feed and just adjust accordingly in the coming days/weeks? She empties out the breast at the next feed anyways so will my body still understand that it needs to adjust the supply or because she’s drinking will it still continue to produce soo much milk still? I’m doing a gradual replacement Cus I don’t want to deal with hard heavy leaky breasts and hoping it’ll just settle? Any help?
