Transitioning BM to FM

My baby is currently exclusively on breastmilk. Any advises from mums who transitioned their LO from BM to FM... 1. How did you do it? By starting with one feed fully on FM? 2. At what age did you transition them from BM to FM? TIA!

Start progressively by replacing 1-2 feeds and gradually increase the feeds you replace with FM. LO will reject initially but it’s normal. Subsequently LO won’t want BM anymore as they get used to FM. Just note that LO will poo more frequently as well due to the switch in milk as their body gets used to it, after couple of weeks they’ll be fine.
