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)

Anyone ween baby off bottle yet?

My pediatrician recommended we try weaning her off the bottle. They said around 18 months is ideal, so we still have some time. My issue is she will drink from a sippy cup but not as frequently as she wants the bottle. I'm worried about her hydration. How did you guys do it?

I’m also frustrated that he’s giving up so easily and not researching it himself as it obviously limits me to EBF until...

Hi formula feeding mummas, what are we doing to make night feeds easier, the process of making up bottles every time baby wants it takes a decent chunk of time which is okay during the day but much harder at night as we don’t always catch the cues early enough and then it’s 40 minutes till baby can eat and the cryin...
