We've completely stopped breastfeeding now. I was down to only nursing him in the morning or before bed once a day or every other day last month. I deeply miss snuggling up with my baby in bed and nursing him to sleep, but I think it's truly easier for him to have more of a predictable amount of food now. He's noticeably less stressed.
He's still on the Alimentum formula and doing amazing. He was eating about five 6 oz bottles and one or two "meals" a day. But, just recently, we've changed that a bit and started more of a schedule with his eating & naps, because he starts daycare on December 16th (more on that later).

Our current attempt:
6:00 am: 7 oz bottle
7:30 am: 2.5 oz prunes
8:00 am: Nap
10:00 am: 7 oz bottle
11:00 am: Nap
12:00 pm: 3.5 oz fruit
2:00 pm: 7 oz bottle
3:00 pm: Nap
4:00 pm: 3.5 oz veggies
6:00 pm: 7 oz bottle
6:30-7 pm: Bath & bedtime
Once he starts daycare, the times will have to be moved up a bit. I will have to get him up at 5 am to feed him and get him ready, because he will have to be at daycare by 6 am. The two things we are still having a bit of a hard time with are the afternoon nap and bedtime, though.
