So we are down to the morning and night feeds.  DS is 11 mths and in childcare 3x a week.  He was BFd, but now we are switching to bottle.  How much should be in his morning and night bottles??

The recs for bottle formula fed babies is a minimum of 20oz up to 1 year, after than they need 12-14oz of dairy to get their needs met. Most babies will still be on 3 bottles up to 1 and then drop to 2 bottles at 1. I would offer a full 9oz bottle for now and see how he does, if he is taking less than that at every feed then cut the bottle back an oz or so.

HTH!
