How many bottles a day for 6 mo old??

babystella08 · May 2010

Hi Ladies,

I can't remember from when DS was a baby but DD will be 6 months next week and lately she is not taking her afternoon bottle so well. Yesterday she only drank 2 oz of it. Most nights she is still getting up though for a bottle so it doesn't make sense to me yet to drop her down to 3 bottles a day vs. 4. Do any of you have a DC who is around 6 months and only has 3 bottles a day?

I should also mention that DD is on solids and has 3 meals a day in addition to her bottles.

Jack has only two meals a day but 4 bottles. DR said not to do 3 meals for us until he seemed like he wanted more formula...

DS recently dropped from 5 to 4 bottles a day and gets 2 meals. His bottles are 6 oz each.

My daughter has 5 bottles a day & takes between 6 & 7 ounces for each. we try to feed her 2 meals a day but she doesn't take much of it, but will then inhale her bottle a 1/2 hour later!
