Bottles

So our little boy has recently started going to bed earlier and sleeping for longer. This means I am struggling to fit in 5 x 7oz bottles into the day anymore. So we have moved to 4 x 8oz bottles plus one meal a day. 32 oz in total. He drains all the bottles each time. I'm worried I'm not giving him enough now. Does this sound about right? Should I be giving him a bottle alongside his meal? šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

My LO has been on 4 x 8oz bottles a day for about a month now (his last bottle has recently increased to 9oz). Still not showing much interest in food so can't even say we have one meal. He is in the 85th percentile for weight and thriving 😊

If he’s 6 months I think that’s the recommended anyway. As generally when they have established weaning you tend to drop the 5th bottle.
Back of my formula tub says 6 months- 4 feeds at 8oz. Xx

My boy has been on 4 bottles a day since around 4 months was on 8oz but dropped down to 7oz now as he has food twice a day

Sounds like enough milk. Just remember food shouldn’t replace milk yet. They still need it as their main food source until 1.

I’m having the same issue, I ended up squeezing 2 close together but he’s been leaking through his nappy as I think it’s too much, I’ll move onto 8, could possibly do like 9 for morning and bedtime one too? X
