# of Formula Bottles for 10 month old

Camardella09 · October 2012

Hi Moms! I know as your baby gets older you should be cutting back the amount of formula they have but my questions is when did you cut down to just a morning and night bottle of formula for your baby or how many formula bottles a day does your 10 month old gets?

Honestly (and I may be wierd) I've never really counted DS's bottles. I pretty much just feed him when he's hungry. If he's not, he won't eat. I guess maybe he's down to 4 -5 bottles a day now?

4 (4oz) bottles for a total of 16oz a day.

He gets 4 bottles a day and drinks between 4-6oz each time.

J gets 3 bottles a day 8oz each. So 24oz a day.

DS eats 4 bottles anywhere between 3 and 6 oz each.

DD is taking 4 bottles a day, about 4 hours apart. She's always made it obvious when she's ready to drop bottles, so I don't force anything. She takes in about 24oz total all day.

DS gets 5oz of BM a day and the rest is formula. He takes 6oz 3x/day and 8oz at bedtime.

My kid is clearly greedy!! She usually eats about 3-4 8 oz bottles a day. She usually leaves an ounce or 2 in each bottle so maybe she doesn' t eat 8 oz bottles LOL

My LO usually gets 5 5-oz bottles a day. Her doctor said that breastmilk or formula should be her primary source of nutrition the first year so I don't have any plans to cut back anytime soon.

Charlotte is starting to drop her third bottle so some days she gets two, some days she gets three. They're 6 oz bottles each time.

She also gets three full meals and two snacks every day.

My daughter drinks 4-6 ounces at a time and usually takes 4-5 bottles a day. Until recently it had been 5, but I think she's getting ready to drop one. She hasn't been drinking very much of that bottle.

He gets 4 bottles a day. I offer him 6oz each, and he drinks between 4 and 6.

I was wondering the same thing. Up until now she's been getting 4 8oz bottles and some days she will drink it all, other days she won't. For the last 2 nights she's only drank about 3oz out of her night time bottle and yesterday she only drank 3-5oz per bottle for all 4 bottles so I'm thinking she's ready to drop 1. I'm probably going to try to drop and afternoon one, so instead of getting them at 11 and 3 she would just get one at around 1. If that doesn't work maybe we'll try dropping the bedtime once since she eats so close to bed anyway (dinner is at 545-6, bedtime is 7).

For anyone feeding 3 bottles per day, how do you work that around meals/snacks? Or do you give the bottle as a "snack".

I don't think he's dropped a bottle at all! I'm back to supplementing with formula because he eats nonstop I swear! I'm guessing in a normal day he gets around 30-32oz a day. If we feed him too much in a bottle he spits up, so try to limit them to 5oz, except at night when he gets 7-8oz.

He eats 3 full meals a day too. He's just a hungry little boy!

Sloane has never really ate more than 6 oz, and she used to be 6 bottles a day regularly. In the past few weeks she has dropped down to four bottles, and she doesn't always finish the 6 oz (sometimes only having half of a bottle). I would say she eats 20 oz or less a day.

She eats 3 meals a day and one snack. It seems to have been a natural progression with how much she eats in solids now.

Both of my twins seem fine with 3-4 8 oz bottles per day. That depends on how much food they eat per meal.
