After 8.5 months I'm hanging up my hot milk bras and stepping away from the nipple cream.
How many bottles a day should dd be having?
I've been mixed feeding for a month and she is now having 8oz before bed.
When else should she have a bottle and how much. She's 75th centile btw.

Ps what do yours have??

It really depends on how much solids they're having. Mine was BLW and ate very little until about 10 months, so was still having about 6 7oz bottles a day at this age (7am, 10:30am, 12ish, 3pm, 5pm and bedtime). If your LO is eating three good meals a day, they might not need so many.

Think that between 6 months and 12 months she should be having 20 oz of formula each day, over a 24 hour period. Its really upto you and your DD how often and how much she has at each feed.

Before she is 12 months the milk is much more important than the solids so try offering the milk an hour before any solids.
