Sounds great!! - Will you drop the 2oz all at once?  I probably would have been too chicken to do that  ;)  Something else to keep in mind - right after we dropped the DF, dd went through a growth spurt, so don't be surprised if something kooky happens like that!!  It's always better to be prepared imho!  Keep up the good work, hope things continue to be smooooooth sailin! 8)

Day 6 and things couldn't be going better....yes vadensmommy, I did drop the 2oz all at once...the first night of that, he started winding up for a cry as soon as the bottle was empty, and I thought I was done for - but I popped the paci in and he was out like a light!  Curiously all of his sleep (naps and night-time) has improved since we began this process - it could be coincidence, but I'm not asking any questions  ;)  His daytime consumption started to improve 4 days into it....here's what yesterday looked like:

7:30 5 oz
11:30 6 oz
3:30 7 oz
6:30 6 oz  (kinda close to the last feed, I know...but bath was early and he's totally conditioned to bottle after bath...)
9:30 4 oz

total:  28 oz (best in a long time!)

today he's done 6oz at each of his feeds so far....

I'll keep my eyes open for any GS wierdness ;-)  and keep you all posted....

That sounds great!  DD did the same - all her sleeps improved dramatically, and her solids amounts went through the roof!  Glad to hear things are going so great!!!!!!

Yup!  Super smooth!  I thought of you last night vadensmommy - I'm not sure but I seem to remember from your posts that by the time you got to the earlier, smaller DF's your lo just started refusing them....that's what happened last night.  He ate really well during the day (best ever, really), then last night at 9:00 I went in with a 2 oz bottle and he wanted nothing to do with it - gave me the distinct impression that I had disturbed him from what he'd rather be doing!  He slept through the night with no problem, and although he was not terribly hungry for his first 2 feeds, he drank his 3 pm like it was the last bottle he was ever going to have  ;D  I'll offer the 9:00 DF again for the next couple of nights and see if he's ready to just give it up.  Like you, this was MUCH easier than I could've imagined!

Sounds great!
I think it might have been one of the other moms that their lo refused the df.  DD seemed to always want to eat at night, no matter what  ;D  So much less interesting things going on at night than during the day I guess.  Hope the good stuff continues!!

Alright, our night sleep has gotten rotten in addition to the EW, so I'm going to try again with the DF wean.  I never finished it because everyone got sick and we went out of town and she seemed to be having a GS, all at the same time. 
So, tonight it's 4 ounces at 9p.

Well, she was up today at 5:20 ish, but she wasn't hungry at all.  She pooped about 20 minutes after she woke, so that's what that was about.  I'm doing 4 ounces today and I'm going to try to do it a little earlier.  And we will see. 
Thanks for the encouragement you guys!
