Weaning/Formula/BF'ing Questions.. Help!

Gianna eats about 6-7 times a day. I have successfully introduced a bottle of formula for 3-4 of those feedings.

I am going back to work in about a month and I want to make sure she is okay on full formula. I have been slowly introducing more and more formula and less BM over the last 1.5 months. I do notice when I up that bottle she gets real gassy for a week, so i don't want to shock that little system but at the same time, I think I am drying up quicker than I thought, and I don't think she's getting much BM at those feedings. After I BF about an hour later she is looking for more.

Some questions:

Can I just drop those last 2 feedings without getting plugged ducts?

How much does a 3-4 month old drink at a feeding? How much per day is the avg? (Right now she takes 3-6 at a feeding)

Is it normal for a formula fed baby not to poop everyday?

She isn't uncomfy, she just doesn't go everyday, and I know I will be concerned once there is no laxative BM in her anymore.

Thank you so much!

I was told that its normal for FF and BF babies to go as seldom as once a week.

As for your other questions, I'm going to the doctor tommorow and I was going to ask those exact questions because I have to return to work. I'll let you know what he says.
