xp: Transitioning to 3 bottles

AMYfromKY

Right now H takes four 6oz bottles and one 4oz bottle a day.  We are hoping in the next month we can get him to three 8oz bottles.  We thought up somewhat of a plan- what do you think of it?  Any suggestions? The bottles are all BM- I don't know if that means they don't keep him full as long or not

If he wakes up soothe with paci and rocking.

I want to do a slow transition because he tends to not react well to sudden changes.

Yay!  Someone I recognize from the Third-Tri boards!  Your LO is adorable...I haven't been on in a while, so it's good to see a friendly face!

good luck...right now DS gets 4 bottles a day between 6-8 ounces and a breakfast of fruit/veggie (whichever new one we are on) and then cereal and veggie/fruit for dinner.  And stringing him out for the 4 bottles is hard enough.
