Sez, I am sad to tell you, our bfing journey has almost come to an end. We are only having one feed a day now and over the next few days we will be stopping that too. So I have no more advice I can give you.
As of about three or four weeks ago though, we were doing the bf, solids about 30min later, bf, bottle. She was only on one solids feed a day and wasn't really liking her solids yet. She wasn't eating very much. But she still needed her bottle as my supply wasn't enough for her still. I was really hoping that the solids would help me with having less bottles but it didn't.
I just couldn't do it anymore. All I was doing was feeding her again. I was ending up in tears when she needed a bottle again, it was like we'd gone back to when she was first born and all I was doing was bf/ expressing/ ff. Now all I was doing was bf/solids/bf/ff. Then she started to bite me and gave me a graze on my nipple again and with the pain of that and how I was feeling I was going batty again and was feeling horrible again.
I hope this works for you though, you are doing such a great job for Nicolas. Good luck hun!
