3 or 4 bottles at 7.5months

[Wriggly]

Hi Everyone,

We dropped from 4 to 3 bottles just two weeks ago (my lo is now 8months), and he didn't miss it at all! I've noticed he's hungrier for his solid meals though, which became a little earlier in the day as a result. Our timings at the moment look like this:

7am bottle
8am breakfast
9.30am nap for 1 hour
12/1215pm Lunch
1/1.15pm Bottle
2pm nap for 1.5 hours
4.45pm dinner
7pm bottle
7.45pm asleep for the night (except for those pesky teeth which wake him intermittently every 3/4 days)

Hope that helps

I am still on 4 bottles... well, 3.5 bottles really.  The last half bottle is fed to her as a cluster feed kind of.  This is her schedule:
7:30 - Bottle 7oz
8:30 - Cereal
10:45 SLEEP
12:30 - Bottle 7oz
1:00 - veggie
3:30 - SLEEP
5:30 - Bottle 6oz
6:00 - corn cereal
7:00 - bath
7:30 -bottle, bed by 8:00  (usually only has half the bottle)

Ive been wondering about this too, my lo is 7.5months and seemed to be getting less interested in his 2 middle bottles (he has 4 a day). I was getting prepared to drop to 3 but he's taken them back up now so I guess we'll hold off a bit. I take it EASY goes out the window then as you aren't sticking to 4hrs anymore?

8/8.30am - Cereal and Fruit
9.30am - Nap 1.5hrs
11.30am/12pm - Lunch (11.30am use to be old bottle time and if she gets a little cranky i put her in her chair give her a banana in her mesh feeder) then sandwich and yoghurt
1pm - Bottle 8ozs
1.30pm - Nap 2hrs
5/5.30pm - Meat/Veges and pasta/rice
6.30pm - Bottle 8ozs
