Wondering how many bottles/ how much formula is generally average for your 6 months old?
My first was formula fed from 6 weeks but I can’t remember! My youngest is 6 months old and over the past 2 weeks I’ve transitioned him from EBF to all bottle fed. I’m just wondering how much he should be having- particularly overnight! He’s generally been having 5 bottles between 8am and midnight but the past 2 nights has been draining a 4oz bottle at 4am ish too. When I first started transitioning him over I did a breastfeed at midnight ish, 4am ish and first thing in the morning. He stopped wanting the first thing one himself and then stopped wanting the 4am ish one so I hadn’t been offering a bottle at that time and trying to resettle instead but after quite a few awful nights where he’s struggled to go back to sleep properly after that time I tried a bottle incase it was hunger and he wanted it again! I’m just confused I suppose as I can’t remember when night feeds tend to start phasing out?
