    Same here. Our little guy still drinks about 24 oz. a day and can become super cranky if he hasn't had his bottle.  Sometimes we even fill it with water just to placate him.  I hope he breaks the habit soon!  We joke that he dreams of fields of bottles, trees of bottles, bottles falling from the sky...LOL.

    Yep, sounds just like our LO. He is on 32 oz. a day plus meals and snacks. I have tried to eliminate some but he will not have it! I'm going to bring it up at his 9 month appointment just to be sure but I really do think it's OK. I just can't help but laugh when I read someone else's LO is on 18-24 oz./a day. There is NO way...LOL.

    everything you said plus still waking at night for another bottle.  Is your's a big baby?  I've thought that maybe because DS is larger than avg (97th percentile for height and 75th for weight) that maybe he just uses more calories than average too.  He's healthy and happy so I'm okay feeding him whatever he needs/wants for now.

    my DD doesnt wake up at night. she has her bottle around 7 pm, and gets up around 7 am. she isnt that big, shes in the 90s for both weight and height.
