Gradually introducing the baby to the bottle ( if your not already bottle feeding) pump abit and add it in a bottle, then add formula in some feeds x

So one feed breast milk, then the next feed formula x

I’m doing the same. Got him to accept 2.5oz of my breast milk in a bottle this morning. Going to keep going with breast milk until he accepts the bottle without fuss and then slowly dilute the breast milk with formula. Doing this for 1 bottle a day to start with to reduce the risk of mastitis xx

Pump some breast milk and get him used to the bottle to start with. Then gradually start swapping over to formula X

I would do one feed a week if you can, so your boobs don’t get uncomfortable! Then initially mix the formula with breast milk and up the amount of formula each time
