Weaning question

My son is 5 months old and I am ready to begin weaning (personal reasons). I have some milk frozen that will get is through, I am guessing, a month..? I am going to start trying out different formulas to make sure I find one that agrees with his tummy. And my thought process is to give him some formula and some breast milk and do more of a transition instead of just cold turkey no more BM and here is the formula. Anyway, my question is how should I go about weaning so I don't get engorged. Is it possible to go to just pumping in the morning and then again at night? Any insight on the process is greatly appreciated.

    Oh he is all over the board some days lol. He typically eats every 3 hours. If he is given a bottle he will eat at least 4.5 ozs but seems to be wanting a little more these days so we are playing with the amount. As for pumping I pump at work at 11 am and at 2 pm then usually before I go to bed in case he wants to sleep awhile so I don't wake up super full.
