Bottles

How many oz’s each feed you guys giving? I’m curious… We’re doing 2x 7oz Then last bottle before bed is 9oz He seems to drain them all is this okay, or should I up the oz’s on the others? He has all 3 meals and quite a fair amount I would say. I’m so confused as my HV said all 3 should be 7oz but he defo needs the bigger one before bed as he then doesn’t wake for a bottle in the night Just hope I’m not depriving my son of milk just cos the HV said so 😅🤦🏼‍♀️ .. but he does seem happy with this routine so maybe I just stick to what I’m doing? I have a big boy too so not sure if maybe he just needs more but don’t want this to then affect his meals.

Today is day one of trying 3x 7oz bottles and 3 meals instead of 2x 7oz and 2x 6oz bottles and 2 meals and one snack

21oz at this age is the minimum so you are all good there. I always give my girl a bigger last bottle because it helps her to sleep through the night. If he is drinking them and eating his food then I would stick with it. As he starts to eat bigger portions he will probably start to drink less and around 1 year when you start adding snacks he will then drop more. They need 350ml (not sure what that is in oz) a day at 1 with 3 meals and snacks

7oz throughout

5 x 5oz bottles with 3 solid meals a day

Ahhh amazing Thankyou girls! Feel happier with what we’re doing now 🥰 Like I say he seems happy but just always question if what your doing is right haha xxx

3 x 5oz bottles but he’s dropping the second one which was around 2. So we are having snacks instead. And he’s on 3 proper meals a day too.

I literally just asked this question! 😂 my boy had two bottles a day 11oz each, he drank his morning bottle like a champ. His evening bottle, he drank about 9 oz in one go then played a bit, then drank the rest. He also has about 1-2 meals because he’s like me, doesn’t like to eat too early in the morning, so I give him brunch and then an evening meal around 5 o clock.

Go by what he needs. My HV told me I could drop to 2x 7oz bottles by now but my boy definitely needs the middle bottle so there's no chance I'm doing that until he decides he doesn't want it so I wouldn't worry.

3 9oz bottles plus a couple meals and snacks
