Best way to wean my Son

[onthefly]

You could try mixing EBM with a bit of formula to begin with, gradually increasing the amount of formula.
Keep expressing for now, and slowly decrease the amount/frequency of pumping to avoid painful lumps and/or mastitis. It's generally recommended that you cut one feed per week, but you could probably do it a bit faster than that, only make sure you don't get lumpy.

Thanks MadB

I have done as you suggested and have mixed half BM and half Formula and Aidan seemed to like it! I am on antibiotics for mild form of mastitis so I am hoping it means I wont get a bad case of it when weaning. I have been expressing every 4-5 hours as I normally would and have just been taking 60mls off each breast and that seems to keep the painfulness of being 'full' at bay - still leaking a bit though...thanks for the advice
