Formula feeding and nursing
I'm giving dd one or two bottles of formula during the day and nursing the rest of the time. I gradually want to increase the number of formula bottles and nurse just in the morning and at bedtime. Will my body adjust and still produce enough milk for those feelings? Or is it all or nothing?
Anyone else do this?

Re: Formula feeding and nursing
I formula feed 2 bottle per day and pump breastmilk for the rest; I don't do this by choice but because of supply issues. But, I am pretty sure your body will adjust. Good luck!

Your body should adjust! How old will your DC be at the time?

Your body will adjust! Just make the change gradually so you are not uncomfortable. I went from nursing 5x per day, to 4x, 3x and now I only nurse in the morning and before bedtime. I didn't have to pump at all. Good luck!

One month is still very early on--idk if your body will adjust to that so soon. It might work for you but there's a chance you may dry up. I have friends who have done this but after 3-4 months of nursing.

Yes, this may be right. I'm sorry- I didn't see your post where you said your LO is only one month. I began introducing formula and BF less around 4m.
