Hi,
Am looking for some help with my DD. I'm returning to work in 6 weeks and need to start weaning her. She's 6.5 months old and has been ebf since she was born. Have started BLW 2 weeks ago but she's not really taken to much and is actually taking more breastfeeds than before. She's gone from 7 a day to 9/10 a day. She is still waking at 11pm, 2 am and 5am. She will drink formula from a cup but it doesn't seem to impact the bf she wants.
When I go back to work I'd like to continue to bf morning and night and for her to have solids/formula during the day.
What do I need to do? drop feeds? and how do I go about it? she really screams when she wants bf so am hoping there's a gentle method or that she'll just miraculously start dropping feeds on her own in the next few weeks.
Any advice/tips?
