My boy is 20 months old and is being 100% breastfed. He still wakes up once or twice in the night to nurse, sometimes I think for comfort and we stopped letting him use the pacifier. I want to slowly start letting him take formula and using milk bottle. Any experienced mummy can advise how I should introduce him to bottle feeding and milk formula?

Perhaps u may want to increase the portion of dinner or last milk intake. Increase activity level during the day may he helpful in lengthening his sleep. Mixed formula with bm during the last feed before sleep. Encourage him with praises if he tries to drink from bottle!

U can try once every night 1st. Try to hv mixed feeding then gradually increase to fully formula if u 1. However, would rather u give expressed breast milk in bottle to baby instead.
