After MUCH consideration I have decided to start to introduce some formula to my DS - at the same time i intorduce him to solids -after 6 months of exclusive BF. Would like to eventually wean him off my boobs but guess i need to do it gradually?
How do i 'dry up' my milk so it is comfortable for me and in a way that DS adapts ok? he has been fine with expressed BM out of a bottle so am hoping that he will be fine with bottle of aptimil. Am going to try him with some baby rice next week as he he will be 6 months. is changing at this time therefore a good or a bad time?
Regardig makig up the feeds, mum thought i coudl make them up in advance for the day but the tub said to use feeds within one hour. what does everyone else do abotu this? if i put them in the fridge, assume i need to wait until they have cooled down.... and then heat them up again when i need them? is this ok? what about if going out for the day? i can take bottle of hot water but where would i store the formula powder? or is it more advisable to take the bottles ready made and just keep them cold?
Any advice much appreciated!
