All sorts of questions for moms of 6-8 mo. olds.

**Gretchen** · February 2010

1. BF or FF?

2. How many ounces per bottle (if pumping bm)?

3. What is the spacing between bottles?

4. How well is your kiddo sleeping through the night?

L is still getting 4 6oz bottles at day care (7:30a-5p) and then feeds from me in the am and pm, and lately has been waking in the night as well. I'm thinking we should up her bottles to 8oz and spread out the bottles at daycare, so she gets used to having things spread (last night she slept from 7-2, then up again at 4). Thoughts?
