What times do you do them at roughly?
I'm thinking it's time to stop giving a bedtime bottle ... but it's her 4th bottle of the day.
I'm trying to figure out where else I could fit it in ... and what everyone else is doing.
I can't cut down to three, b/c she won't take more than between 4 and 6 oz at a time. Ever.
Re: If you do 4 bottles a day ...
I am in the same boat. The girls still get 4 bottles a day with the last one at bedtime.
7am Lauryn gets 8oz Ava gets 6oz
11am 6oz for both
3pm 6oz for both
7pm Lauryn gets 8oz Ava gets 6oz
Lauryn always finishes her bottles and Ava doesnt always finish. I am not sure how to change this either. I feel like we will be on bottles forever.
We do 4 bottles a day, but he still gets one at bedtime. No idea how we will ever drop that one!
His eating 'schedule'
7a 6 oz bottle
9a breakfast
11a 6 oz bottle
1p lunch
3p 6 oz bottle
5:30-6p dinner
7p 8 oz bottle
He's usually asleep by 7:30
We do 4 bottles a day and our schedule is:
6:30- 7 oz.
8:00- breakfast
10:00- 6 oz. (then nap)
12:00-lunch
2:00- 6 oz. (then nap)
6:00- dinner
7:00- 6 oz.
8:00- bed
I'm still doing 4 bottles a day. He gets offered 8 oz per feeding, but here's about how much he eats and when:
7 am: 6 oz
11:30 am: 6 oz
3:30 pm: 6-7 oz
7 pm (bedtime): 6-8 oz
He also gets three solid meals at 9 am, 12:30 pm, and 5:30 pm. His night bottle has a tbsp of rice cereal in it.
Well that settles it.
If you guys are still doing a bedtime bottle then we will continue to too. She really enjoys that bottle b/c it's soothing to her and then she gets to go to bed with a full tummy.
Thanks!

DD won't take more than 6oz either so I think we're stuck with 4 bottles for a while.
