That is as long as you have no complications. As for how to avoid formula, your milk supply should keep up with your daughters demands. Some kids wean in the 2nd trimester because the milk changes taste. But your daughter will be taking solids by then so it may not be an issue. I am sure Lenore can give you more info.
