Post subject: my daughter made her own decision to cut dinner time bottle, as she was only having about 2 oz, so i just stopped it.
lunchtime was a nightmare though. i started giving it to her a bit earlier and reducing the amount down, and then replaced it with a snack instead. tbh your son probably doesnt need 3 meals, 5 bottles and snacks at 8 months old. my daughter only started having snacks when she started at the childminders and that was 8 months, but she was only on 2 bottles by then. _________________

Post subject: My little girl has bottle, breakfast, snack, lunch, bottle, tea, bottle for bed all 9oz and drains the lot.
By this age my little boy only had 2 bottles a day just gonna let her do what she wants, she is following her centile nicely so not worrying about it, she has about 30oz of milk a day and three good meals. Only thing we need to work on is water from a sippy cup, she still doesn't get it lol xx _________________

Post subject: My little boy who is 6 months was on 4 bottles a day and 3 meals and he wasnt finishing any of them, I reduced the amount to 4x6oz and he was leaving so much, only taking 1-2 oz from a couple of them. I cut out his mid morning bottle but increased the others to 8oz so I was still making 24oz, and now he drains the lot. I think your lo is probably eating too often so is just topping up all the time and never hungry enough for a full bottle.
My lo is now on 7.30am- 8oz and weetabix for breakfast. 11.30-lunch and pudding with water. 2.30pm-8oz. 4.30/5pm-dinner and pudding and then 8oz around 7pm then to bed. Posted: Tue Dec 13, 2011 7:46 pm
Post subject: Thanks ladies, I decide to try him with 1 bottle in the morning and 1 at bedtime and he is now on his 4th day and is not bothering looking for any other bottles
 im just giving him water with meals and throughout the day to keep him hydrated.
he likes to be eating when we are eating, he dose not like to be left out and I think if I would let him eat all day then he would  _________________ Posted: Tue Dec 27, 2011 11:28 am
