Starting to wean from breastmilk to formula milk

From 10 months old, mommy is starting to wean Richie from breastmilk to formula milk.
The reason is so Richie can have a good night sleep, because he has a habit to ask milk around 3 times at night, and mommy's milk is also decreasing in terms of quantity and quality. Besides next year mommy and daddy are planning to have a long honeymoon and Richie will stay with oma, therefore Richie must be independent from mommy.

Well, it's not easy in the first place, he only drank 30ml by spout.
But after few days, he can drink 60ml, then last weekend mommy added the milk to 90ml and he can finish it.
Yesterday, mommy gave 120ml and he finished them all eventhough it's not one go.

I guess his milk would be around 180 - 200 ml to make him satisfied. But that's okay, mommy also needs to empty the breast as well...hehe...
Good job boy, hopefully the weaning goes well and smoothly.
