I am wondering sholud i cut back on nite feed bottle say give 2 oz instead to c if hw will takes his morning bottle.

Fortot he was weighs 10lb 14 oz

How much are each of his daytime bottles?
I wouldn't wean or reduce a night feed at this age.
-
his daytime bottles r 4 oz which he finish most of the time.
-
If he finishes bottles, add an ounce to make them 5 ozs.
I think I would be tempted to try skipping the DF to see if that makes him wake for a single night feed a bit earlier in the night - offer a full 5ozs and see if he can then make it to his wake up time. If so, he just might take a full bottle at wakeup.
Give it a few days to see if it works... some babies just don't really do much better with a DF, so I would try going without.
