Chamging from bottle feeding to direct latching

Im currently bottle feeding my bm to my LO and am thinking of changing to DL once my supply is in line with his demand. Reason why Im not DL now is cos 1. My supply is way more than demand 2. I've tried DL for 2 nights and pump out the excess but resulted in clog Have any mum attempted bottle feed for a long time then changed to DL? Was it successful at one go or take quite a while as child is so used to bottle teats?

I was undersupply for the first 3 months but i managed to switch from bottle feeding to fully direct latching, so I belive this method would work for you too. i bottle feed baby with half her usual feed and let her finish off by direct latching. my LO is 13mo now and bottle fed at infant care during the day and direct latch at night.
