Advice on going from breast to bottle
I've been exclusively breastfeeding DD but I'm planning to start back to work in the next couple of weeks and want to get her onto the bottle during the day.
Does anyone have any tips on how to drop feeds without getting mastitis? I've already had it twice (in weeks 1 and 6) and am feeling pretty nervous about getting it again. Any advice gratefully received!
Thanks!

I BF Ethan for a long time but as he was such a big baby i could keep up with him. What i started to do, was give him 1 bottle of formula per day (which he loved), if my boobies ever got really sore/full I expressed a little and massaged with hot water in the shower. Ethan now has 5 bottles per day and no boobies (which i am sad about!)
