Then remove another breastfeeding, substitute another bottle of formula and apply the cabbage leaf compresses for two hours. Continue until all the breastfeedings are replaced with formula bottles. Discontinue the use of cabbage leaf compress if you notice any rash on your breasts while using. The cabbage leaf compresses help to reduce bodily swelling and you may notice an increase in your urine output while using. Partial weaning, or part-time breastfeeding, is possible.
If you choose to keep certain breastfeedings and replace other breastfeedings with formula bottles, you will need to follow a strict plan. Your breasts will need the same signal every day for when to make breast milk and when not to make breast milk. Remember breastfeeding works on the principle of demand and supply. Wean the feedings that you wish to remove carefully and slowly.
Continue the breastfeedings that you wish to keep, nursing the baby or pumping your breasts at the same feedings each and every day. Demand emptying stimulates supply volume.
If you are returning to work and feel that you will be unable to pump your breasts at work and maintain your breast milk volume, then you may wean the work feedings away and continue to breastfeed all the other feedings at home. Your baby will receive formula bottles from the day care provider and you will not pump at work.
Request that your day care provider to not feed your baby for two hours before your pick up time so that you can begin breastfeeding as soon as you arrive and pick baby up after work. On your days off from work, you should do your best to follow the same schedule of breastfeedings and formula bottles. Your breasts will receive the same signal every day and maintain your breast milk at the times when you are able to breastfeed. Remember to keep well hydrated while breastfeeding.
