How many bottles through the day now?

We are 5 months and a week or so and my LO seems to only finish his morning bottle, the rest he’ll only take about half or maybe a little bit more and I’m wondering if he just isn’t hungry enough and maybe I should do bigger bottles more spaced out? Thoughts?

Feeding in the heat

LO normally has 6-8oz every 4 hours of formula. Today she's gone 5 hours and only has 3oz and is refusing the rest. Is this because its warm? Is she overheating? She feels a normal temperature but looks a little flushed

How did everyone get their toddler completely off bottles?

We are at 1 bottle before bed and have been since about 14m, how did everyone transition the last bottle to a sippy/straw/open cup? I have tried all repeatedly but my LO blatantly refuses anything but a bottle at night, to where he would rather go without. But then he has really poor sleep without it?

Baby refusing milk

Anyone else’s baby just refusing their formula? My baby has been weaning for about a month and is generally good with his food but will point blank refuse any formula! I’ve asked the HV and they think he’s eating too much food, but he only has a small breakfast and an evening meal because otherwise he’d have nothing...

Baby going to grandparents

What's the easiest way to show them to make bottles? We use the nuby rapid cool hot shot method but I think it will be a faf for them. Am I best to make the bottles up & put in fridge for them to just warm up when needed? What do you do?

Is 6oz of milk per feed an ok amount for a 7.5mo?

We’ve switched from EBF to formula/bottles and this is the amount he drinks every 3.5 hours. Whenever I do 8oz he doesn’t drink it all (he drinks about 6oz). So is this ok? Should he be having more for his age? Additional info: he’s 99th percentile height & 94th percentile in weight so I’m not too worried (lol)
