Bottles help please

Lo is almost 9 months usually takes 7oz X3 and 8oz x1 at bed time. Now he took 7 at 6.30am then 7 at 11.30 am A few small chips from burger king 7 at 3.30/4pm About 2 baby spoons of mild chili con carne and a baby peti flue at 6.30 He has completely rejected his bed time feed at 8.30 tried again at 9.30 and again there a few minutes ago and completely rejected the bottle each time. I changed the bottle, remade the formula etc but he's happily asleep. Question is do I leave him alone or try and offer the feed again at about midnight?

He’s old enough to sleep up to 11-12 hours without needing a feed so if he’s happy sleeping then my advice is to enjoy the sleep & get some yourself!! He’ll wake if he’s hungry but you may find he’ll sleep through more now as it’s averagely the age they do start xxx

Yeah he would usually sleep from 9pm-8am but he hasn't had any milk since 3.30/4pm today xxx

@Rachael he may then wake 3:30/4 for it but may also just sleep through. My little boy is only 6 months but there have been nights he refuses his evening bottle (sleeps from 7pm-2am so far and then 2:30-7:30 after a feed when he wakes). On the nights he wakes I was giving him a dreamfeed to ‘get ahead’ of the wake up but he would still wake up at 2/2:30 anyway so now I just enjoy the little extra sleep myself and I know he’ll wake me if and when he’s hungry xx

Yeah I'm just worried about him sleeping all night then with having no bottle from 4pm like that's alot of time 🙃🙃🙃

@Rachael that’s fine, he’s is of the age where this is pretty common (as in these one off refusal days) so I wouldn’t worry about it. If he does sleep through, you could always offer 8-9oz on wake up in the morning to balance him not feeding before bed but I honestly wouldn’t worry. He’ll make it known if he wants it xx
