When do I stop DF and how many bottles per day?

[Spectra]

Hi there. Currently my DD gets 5 feeds which include the dreamfeed. She is almost 6 months old.  I am wondering when do I stop the DF and how do I stop it. Currently she takes 6oz of formula at every feed including DF.  She also started having cereal and is on cereal morning and later afternoon. Here is schedule.  I am also curious as if this is too many bottles a day? Should I be dropping the DF and another feed? And if so how?

8am:  6oz
9am:  Cereal

12pm:  6oz

4pm:  6oz
5pm:  Cereal

8pm:  6oz

10:30pm:  between 4oz to 6oz.

Check out the above link for your DFing questions.

Your 4 bottles during the day looks perfect to me.

Wow, thanks Calum's Mom, that's perfect!!  When do you switch from 4 bottles to 3 then?

I think I did it round about 7.5/8 months  and he recently started playing with his 2nd and 3rd bottles so I am experimenting with just a morning and bedtime bottle + a 'snack - bottle' in his straw or sippy cup in the afternoon, so he gets used to feeding himself - some days he takes it others not.

I don't stress anymore because the recommended amount of milk is 20oz / 600 ml a day (about a pint) - and that includes milk from other sources such as custards and yoghurt.

Calum never goes below 20oz of milk alone, he also eats a yogurt per day and lots of cheese and dairy products, etc.......
