Weaning from 4 to 3 bottles

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Hi Ladies, I am jumping over a bit early to ask for some advice. I have read that as of 9 months most babies are eating three meals and only taking three bottles as well. How should we wean her from her current 4 bottles of formula to 3?

Right now her shedule is 5:00AM-8oz bottle
9:30-10AM 6-7 oz
noon- fruit puree
2-2:30PM- 6-7 oz
5:00- veggie puree
7-8.5 oz bottle at bed time @7:00PM

We know her schedule will change when we add in a third meal for breakfast.

Should we decrease all bottles and then just drop one or just drop one bottle cold turkey? TIA for any advice

    My LO cut back a bottle by himself. We do 4 bottles a day though, but my guy is 97% for height and weight so I figure a little more won't hurt. I plan to ask my pedi at the well visit tomorrow.

    we just weaned to three bottles this past week. i realized he could skip that fourth bottle and thought "i wonder if it is time to up the ounces in the other three bottles and make sure he is getting three healthy meals a day." He dropped the bottle pr

    I definitely wouldn't cut unless they are eating a good amount. I was told by my pedi that they should still in total around 24 ounces at a 1 year. So if you want to cut a bottle at least up the other bottles once your little one is eating a

    In the past month DS has drank less of his fourth bottle and now we are almost not giving a fourth at all.  He did it on his own though and I would just follow LO's queues.  It has been the same with naps, we some days are down to just one, they

    We only just dropped the 4th bottle this past week (DS will be 1 tomorrow).  But, I didn't cut ounces.  He now gets three 7 oz bottles a day - at 11am, 3:30pm, and before bedtime (in addition to his breakfast, lunch, and dinner).

    Thank you all for your input. I am definitely not planning to change anything until our 9 month appointment next week with the pedi and ask her advice, I was just look for some practical how to get it done input. Thanks so much, it gives me a lot to think
