Hi everyone,
I'm really struggling with bottle feeding my 5.5mo ds. He has been bottlefed from the get-go, but lately things have been really wonky.
Here is what a typical day looks like:
5am: 3oz and diaper change
8:30am: 3oz rice cereal and 2-3oz formula
12:00pm: 4-6oz formula
4pm: 4-6oz formula
6pm: 3oz formula (Trying to get rid of this cluster feed...not sure how to)
8pm (Bedtime): 8oz, sometimes 10oz!
11pm: 6oz
So as you can see, he is 5.5mo and still 7 bottles a day! My issues are: 1) How do I get the bottles more consistent? During the day he seems full after 4oz, but at bedtime he chows down 8oz! and 2) How do I get rid of the cluster feed, and the 5am bottle? I would love to see him go from 11pm dream feed to 7 or 8am...
Help please!
