weaning from breast to bottle how much oz??

[Nee]

I am weaning my 6 month old to formula.  She had started taking 6 oz and once she took 7 oz of formula and was sleeping her nights (for the  first time) but now only is taking 4 Oz for pas 2 days.  Is this normal she took 5 oz at DF.  How much is she suppost to be taking??

Hi there
at that age my dd was taking 4 x 9oz bottles per day (but she was/is a big baby)
If she ever started to suddenly cut back on her bottles the first thing I always did was to go up a teat size- which teats are you using? If they are too slow she will get frustrated and give up halfway through her bottle, which sounds like it may be happening

Nee, can you post your current routine with amounts of formula she takes at each feed? we can get a better understanding of what's going on then. 

Is your Lo on a 4hr EASY?  Have you started solids?

Here is also a link to the reasons why LO's drop their intake.. https://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?topic=67403.0

Here is my routine

E 7am BF
A
S 9am
E 11Am (yesterday had 4 oz. the day before that 6 oz)
A
S 1pm
E3 pm BF
A
S 5/5:30 catnap (30min to 1hr.)
E6:45/7 6 oz
A bath
S 7:30 Bed
E DF 10pm yesterday (3 oz the day before that 6 oz)

Wakes at different times at night. beginning of week slept the night then last 2 days woke at 2am and the next day 4:30 for a feed and yesterday slept the night till 7 am

She is currently on the 2 month teat (avent bottle)  as I had tried the 3 month and found it to be to fast for her but now she is getting used to the bottle, I may try again.

Oh and if she does wake for a night feed she usually sleeps in till 8am and her routine is just pushed back one hour but still goes to bed at 7:30pm. and still gets her 6:45 and 10 pm feed.
We started solids but is not taking mush in (one little bite a day)
