Suggest you start pumping your breast milk and feed her with a bottle at some feedings to get her used to a bottle. You can pump your breast milk when you return to work without taking her off breast milk; or if you want her to go to infant formula suggest about a month before you are returning to work, mix breast milk with infant formula to help her accept it as follows: Mix ¾ breast milk and ¼ infant formulas at first. If she does accept it, then after a week or so, try doing a bottle mix of ½ breast milk, and ½ formulas. Then go to a bottle mix of ¼ breast milk and ¾ formulas, then totally to all formula depending on how she accepts it. Hoped this helped you.
