I have a breastfed 19 week old, and over the next 8 weeks will be building up to returning to work full time. She is currently fed on demand, about every 2-2.5 hours through the day, but by the time I am fully back at work I will need to have cut down to 7am, 5pm, 7.30pm, and 10.30pm.
At the moment our routine is loosely - bf at 7am, sleep 8.30-9.30, bf about 9.30am, formula bottle (4oz) 11.30-12ish, sleep between 12-2 (sometimes 45 minutes, sometimes an hour or 1.5 hours), bf around 2/2.30, nap around 4, a couple more bfs before bed.
So I need to get rid of the 9am and 2pm breastfeeds, I guess probably ad another bottle, and I would also like to start introducing solids before I am full time at work.
Any suggestions on how to tackle all this? Where to add a bottle/what feed to drop next - and also formula amounts? And what about food?
Thanks for any help!
