Bottle question

jenosbo

How many bottles a day are you lo's taking? I think ds is ready to go down to 3 but I'm not sure how to go about it. I know I asked this awhile ago but he ended up still wanting the 4 th bottle but these days one of them usually ends up being maybe 4 oz. so how far do I space the bottle and it seems like I might have to change our food Schedule as well. Sorry I'm just not sure how to go about this so I need full details lol

We've been doing 3 bottles for a while now. I found that if she has a bottle first thing in the morning then she doesn't want breakfast. So now we do breakfast, lunch and dinner. A bottle between breakfast and lunch. A bottle between lunch and dinner. A bottle before bed. She drinks 6-8oz each bottle. FWIW we do water in a sippy at each meal.

This is our drink/eat schedule:

Wake up: Bottle & Breakfast half an hour later

Noonish: Lunch

2:30ish: Bottle

6:00ish: Dinner

Bedtime: Bottle

This is what my pedi recommended at his 9-month appointment.  I thought 3 nursings/bottles was too few, so I tried to do 4, but that only lasted a couple weeks.  He wasn't interested, and has been fine with 3.  

 

That's our schedule almost exactly.
