Transition- EBM to formula
Hi, looking for advice on transitioning from ebm to formula. I have managed 3 months of EBM but for my own mental health I am thinking of coming to an end of that journey.
What is the best way to move to formula? Would it be to combine ebm and formula or alternate bottles of formula and ebm?
Also currently having 100ml of emb every 2-4 hours on demand, would I still give the same amount in formula? TIA

the amount of formula a baby needs is usually based on age and the older a baby gets the more formula they need to support their growing dietary and nutritional needs. it is hard to say whether or not switching from breast milk to formula will be the same ml. it is more likely they may need more than the amount of breast milk given. i’d definitely talk to your doctor to ask for guidance so you can make the transition while feeling confident
I will try and speak with HV this week. My little one is 12 weeks old, born at 27+4. He isn't actually due till next week. Thank you for replying
