advise on going back to work and still bf (would like to miss out bottle)

[sillysillysally]

I'm going back to work soon and would like to continue with bf until son is 1yr and miss out the bottle altogether. He'll be 9 months when I return to work so should be on 3 proper meals a day. Any advise on this? What schedule to follow?

If he's eating his 3 meals well you could probably bf before work, on getting home/picking up and at bedtime. We never had a schedule as such, as would bf 2-3 times more on days off without it being a problem for either of us. My baby however was eating hardly any food by 8 months when he went to nursery, so I expressed for him once a day at work.

Feed him morning and bed time plus when you get back from work (hopefully that won't be bedtime).

Prob meals should include dairy twice a day (breakfast cereal plus yoghurt/cheese at another meal?) and he'll be fine.

Neither of mine drank any milk but breast milk - and then only from me! They just got by on water/juice during the day and tanked up when I get home from work.
