Dropping feeds EBF

I wouldnt worry about doing this now- give yourself less stress and just wait for the natural separation to sort this out and you wont need to do anything! Thats what I did with daycare with the afternoon bottle- they gave a snack and we just stuck with that x
It’s happened very naturally. My baby is EBF and I’ve been back at work 3 weeks, doing 4 days. The days I’m with him, we still feed on demand, some days more than others. I pump once at work, but that’s mainly for my comfort and I have been sending him with expressed milk but his intake hugely varies! I was sending him with 8oz and he’d only have 2, then sent him with 4oz and he had the lot in one bottle!! But his solids intake has definitely amped up and he’s okay when he’s not with me! But don’t overthink it would be my advice. They will adapt to the new routine x
Don’t worry too much, our feeds are dropping and I work from home and she is always at home. She might just catch up when she sees you
Will she take a bottle? When my girl started nursery the one feed we replaced it with formula or now whole milk?
