Hi,
I'm returning to work and would appreciate advice on which order to switch breastfeeds to formula as I'm a bit confused and having dropped one feed at 10.30am, it has taken me a week and I still have engorged breasts and pain in left boob. I want to do it gradually for both ds and myself .
I'd like to keep the evening feed at 6pm but don't know which order to drop the others.

DS is 5 months old and feeds at these times:
7am (not much though as he still feeds at 4am which I would like to wean him off but don't know how!)
10.30am - as above, ok apart from pain.
2pm
6pm
10.30pm - DS has been on bottle for this feed for a few weeks so no problems
4am - think he needs this for comfort rather than hunger as he doesn't take much. If he does more than 10 mins then he doesn't take much at 7am (5 mins)!

Thanks,
Ruby
