I stopped BFing about 3 weeks ago and he took to the bottle ok.  He would drink 4 8oz bottles a day.  Then he got his first cold.  It screwed everything up...he wasnt good at taking bottles because he couldnt breath through his nose.  Anyway, hes not sick anymore, and the last bottle of the day is such a battle.  Yesterday he had a 8oz bottle at 3pm and then dinner (meat and fruit) at 6pm and i went to put him to bed at 715 and he refused the bottle.  After 20 mins of crying and fighting he drank 4 oz.  I was thinking of moving a bottle up so he gets the oz and just offering a bottle at night and if he doesnt take it..no biggie.  Thoughts?

DS started fighting the night time bottle about a month ago.  He refuses to take it completely now.  I think he is just over tired at that point (regardless of how many naps he gets during the day).  So AJ gets his last bottle at 6:30 pm, along with 1/2 a fruit or veggie and then goes down for the night at 8:00 pm.  Then he gets up at 6 am for a bottle and goes back to sleep until 7:30 (most nights!!).

I find that if I feed him earlier he actually eats a lot more and it isn't such a battle.

GL!
