@ Lolly

My daughter is almost 8 1/2 months.  I did switch to 3 bottles a day and she drinks about 10-15oz per day.  She's a very small baby (15LBS), but she's always been good as far as the growth chart.  She's great with solids, it's just the bottle that's the pain.  I think she's trying to wean herself.  She loves sippy cups, but she won't drink milk from it.  The dr increased her formula concentration so she will get the calories she needs.  I will be glad when the bottle is gone!  :)

Are there any medical reasons for her milk intake - does she have reflux for instance? That is a very small amount of milk, has she always drank so little? Babies really don't self wean their milk at this age, there is usually a reason for such little milk intake but it's not always easy to find out why.

She is a tiny little thing isn't she! My DD weighed 15lbs at 13 weeks old!
