Hello.
Just quick question. We are working towards 2 bottles a day. We currentky have our middle bottle at 4oz. He he seems satisfied with that. Never weaned other bottles he just refused them up to now.
Due to a decrease in interest in solida at lunch Dr suggested gettingbrid of bottle since he only needs 16 oz a day. And he gets that from morning and bt bottle.
My question is how do inwean the bottle fiqb from 4 oz. How much closer in time should I be bringing his lunch solida. We are also on the 2-1 nap transition so he generally naps from 11-1. Have 4oz at wake up and solida 30-45min later.
Thanks!

I'm not sure it needs to be weaned really. How about omitting it and offering lunch when he wakes up? Offer water in a cup with lunch. Or if you feel you need to wean it for whatever reason, offer some ounces of formula in a cup, and water in another. You can also offer a small snack and water prior to his nap.
If it were me, I'd omit the bottle and offer water in a cup with lunch. I'd offer a bit more at lunch to be sure he isn't hungry from omitting the formula. :) Best of luck :)
