dropping the mid morning bottle

[rubysmum2]

hi ruby is now 7.5months now and i am thinking of dropping her mid morning bottle as she  is not really fussed about having it and i find i am almost forcing her to take 4 oz! any suggestions? she eats  3 solid meals a day and loves her food never really been that keen on milk. anyway here is her daily schedule at the moment.

6-6.30 wake
6.45  6oz milk
7.30 brekfast
9.15 sleep can be anything from 30mins to 1 hour

hi there
I was having the same problem with DS at the same age. What helped us was spacing his bottles 5hrs apart. So that is 3-8oz(240mls) and a top up bottle before bed, and will sometime finish it.
I wasn't quit comfortable going to 3 bottles yet. I suppose I'll drope to 3 when he turns 9-9 1/2 months. HTH
