do any moms have experience with this?  how did DC react?  how did your body adjust?  did you leak at work?

    When my DD was 6 mos old she had to start getting 1 bottle of formula  day.  By 9 mos she was getting 2 and by 11 mos she was getting no BM at daycare.  It worked out just fine.  I think we had to mix the BM and formula the first couple times, but she was a little piggy and would eat anything as long as it was food.

    I did that for awhile when I was very slowly weaning.  I never leaked, and let me tell you, I use to leak all the time those first months.

    I'm glad you are asking this because I was just asking.  I am wondering how the pumping at work will work out considering the only break I get is lunch.

    DD drinks milk/juice/water at daycare and bf when we're home.  I gradually dropped a session.  My body adjusted fine.  There are also times on the weekends or when she's sick that I nurse more often.

    We just started this in the last two weeks.  For the first week, I did two bottles of breast milk and one bottle of formula.  This week, I have been doing all formula at day care.  He had no adverse reactions.  I nurse in the morning and at night, just twice a day.  I went from two/three pumpings to one during the first week and then dropped that pumping session over the weekend.  I was a little sore and leaked a little at night but I was fine in a day or so.  I have not leaked at work but I used pads all week just in case.  It went much smoother than I expected.  Good Luck!

    DD is FF at daycare and BF at night and one weekends. ?DD adjusted just fine. ?My body adjusted as well. ?While I was pumping at work, leaking was a problem. Within a few days after I stopped pumping, I never leaked again. There was some engorgement during the first few days. ?This actual works out very well for me and DD.
