How much is she taking at each feed now?

Most babies drop to 3 bottles aroung 9/10 months but it really depends on how much they are taking and when. A common issu is for the 2 daytime bottles to reduce or one of them to be refused so they get combined into 1. A really common pattern at this age is

Wake up and bottle
Brakfast (about 1 hour later)
Nap
Solids lunch
Bottle (around 2/2.30 depending on nap)
Nap
Solids Tea (snack between nap wake up and tea if needed)
Bedtime bottle.
