Is it possible to do ff during day and keep bf at night??

Blaumba · Mar 17th, 2010, 06:01 AM

I would like to replace the day feeds with ff and keep the last feed and night feeds as bf and possibly the first morning feed.. Is this doable?
Has anyone else done this? How did it go?
Don't wanna give it up completely just yet but do want to start..
Any advice welcome

i've heard it is, but not sure at what age. we really need a combination feeding area! x

Alot of ladies do this when they go back to work so I don't see why it would be a problem. How old is your LO?

I go back to work in June (

) and if I am not able to express enough I may have to do this too.

Im sure its possible, because my friend said when its time to wean shes not going to give any bf during the day, only morning and night, also like above ppl go bk to work and manage it, but i think they pump during the day, so you may have to do this to keep yr supply going. x

It's different for me as I'm not working or anything but Aisling is only taking 3 feeds a day now, only one during the day and my supply is fine, it's just adjusted to the amount she takes

i probably want to do the same as blaumba when LO gets to 7 or 8 months, but this worries me bana. i don't want to dry up or risk LO not getting enough milk in morning and at night. surely the supply would just adjust??? - like it does if LO starts sleeping thru the night?
