Weaning off of formula top ups
Did anyone wean their breastfed babies off of formula top ups at night and how did you do it?
FYI we also give expressed milk at night while I am having some sleep. So we would give depending on how much I pumped 100-120 ml of my milk and then some 40-70 ml max Aptamil.
Thank you!

@Brittany Marshall he takes it well, we keep him upright for 40 mins and burp every 30 ml. But I don’t want us to be mentally and practically formula dependent at night - hence I want to drop it eventually
I combine feed and have found my baby seems to be doing a long stretch at night after breast and about 30-50ml if needed. He then sleeps for about 6-8 hours and then my boobs are super full so I can just breast feed and then he goes back to sleep.

How did your baby do with the formula? I do the same with my baby but would like to use formula at night before bed instead of expressed milk but I’m scared it’ll hurt her tummy
