How many bottle feeds for 7 month old on 3 solid meals?

[kellyhushhh]

Hello,

Ds is 7.5months and currently bottle feeds at 7am, 11am, 3pm, 7pm and dream feed at 10.30pm, drinking approx 7-8 ounces each feed,  he has his  solids at 8.30am, 1pm and 5.30pm.

He doesnt feed in the night and isnt ravenous for his 7am bottle.

Just recently though he has been been taking less at the dreamfeed, last night he only took 3 ounces and that was a struggle.

Just wondering what i should do and just wondering if i should maybe be dropping one of his bottles during the day, most books i read state that babies this age are on three bottles.

How many feeds do your babies have?

Many thanks for any advice

Four bottles here with no dreamfeed. Bottles at 7am, 11am, 3pm, 7pm. She eats solids directly after her 11am and 3pm bottle. She sleeps from 7pm-7am.

Kelly, I think Tracy suggests dropping the dreamfeed around 7-8 months (if I remember correctly) so maybe he would do better if you dropped that one? Just a thought. Good luck.

I would only drop one feed at a time . I made each feed smaller just before I dropped it.
Kai is soon to be 9 months and has only on 3 bottles a day for about 4 weeks
good luck
