Anyone else's 9.5 month old still having 4 bottles and 3 naps?
Little girl is nearly 10 months and still having 4 bottles some days (7oz each). We did drop to 3 but she was so unhappy and snacks and food didn't help her. On nursery days she only has 3.
She also has three meals a day.
She also still has three naps some days, around 45 mins each.
I see things online about babies of this age should be dropping feeds and naps but my little girl just can't cope without them. Is anyone else's baby similar?

My little one has 5 bottles a day and has three meals on a good day and has around 3 naps as well and shes nearly 10 months
My baby is having 4 bottles per day averaging about 660ml per day. She has 3 meals per day, and 2/3 naps per day lasting 30 minutes - 1.5 hour each.
I'm not worried about this. The more they eat gradually they will drop milk at their own rate .
We're pretty much the same although I do 2 breastfeeds and 2 bottles. He's having 3 decent sized meals a day as well. He also went back to 3 naps now he's at nursery. I'm guessing he'll go back to two naps and drop the milk feeds at some point.
From the sleep side, if she’s only getting 3 45 minutes then she needs those 3 naps. Babies this age should be getting a total of 2-3 hours day time sleep. Mine was doing this so I adjusted his wake windows and now he does two naps. 1 at 1.5 hours and the second an hour. Milk wise, they will drop it when they’re ready. Mine has 3 meals, snacks and 3 bottles but i think we are dropping bottle number two lately x
We’re on 4 9oz bottles, 3 meals and snacks
We usually have 3 naps too. Either 2 long ones (over a hour) or 3 shorter ones
I’m not bothered about all the food and bottles. The way I see it, the more the better 😂full babies, happy babies x
I’d be more concerned if he was just drinking milk and not interested in food, but he is so I’m sure he will drop them at some point x
My boy has just turned 10 months he's still having 4 bottles a day plus 3 meals and snacks. He has 2 naps but sometimes still needs 3 x
My little boy is 9.5 months, he loves his food but is only small (always been on 6th percentile) but wasn’t fussed on bottles so he now has 7oz when he wakes, 4oz at 10.30, 4oz at 3.30 and 7oz before bed, as for naps he can also be a 45 minute napper and is also second child so has to do a lot of napping on the go! Therefore most days are 3 naps, unless he has a good 1.5/2 hours at home then we’ll go for 2! Don’t worry about it - I learnt this after my first - they’ll all stop bottles and naps at some point so don’t stress 🥰
My 10.5 months has like 5-6 bottles and 3 meals a day! (He’s a HUNGRY boy) but doesn’t necessarily drink all of the bottle every time
He has 2-3 naps depending on the day!
