DS is 4 months old and breastfed. He has approx 2-3 small bottles of formula per week which he drinks without a problem. Breastfeeding on the other hand has always been stressful and tricky despite having his tongue tie released. I don’t want to stop breastfeeding altogether but I definitely want to reduce it. He seems to prefer a bottle when he has one and I think it would also improve my mental health.
Would I be able to just breastfeed for his first morning feed, last feed before bedtime and his overnight feeds (at the minute he has 2 feeds overnight). And the rest of the time in the day so between 7am-6pm just give him formula? I know I need to drop the feeds gradually and it’ll take time but I’m just wondering if this would work and if anyone has done similar, or if my supply would be too affected to continue breastfeeding?
