Ok, my son is almost 9 months old and it is time to start weaning him from EBF. I will likely continue to nurse morning and night, I just want to begin to wean in preparation for trying for #2 and to get away from my pump.

I won't get into the guilt over this decision, we have been extremely lucky in that we could EBF for this long and I know I could continue but at my age I know it is important to start preparing to try for another.

How do you go about introducing formula? I hope to still be able to use my freezer stash such that he will still receive breast milk through his first birthday but I know I don't have enough. Clearly mixing the two is best in the beginning but how do you know how much formula etc? Do you just follow their lead and provide more as needed?

Any other tips/considerations? TIA!
