DD was 8 months recently, and we're starting to move her over to bottle feeding (I'm not overly keen as I've loved bf, however we're going away for nearly a week in june without her and there will be no opportunity for expressing...)

She currently has one bf in the morning (anywhere between 6 and 8am) then three good meals, then a bf at around 7pm, goes to bed at 7.30pm, and then I'd wake her for a bf at 10pm (although recently dh has offered her a bottle at this feed, she takes around 3 -4 oz) Last night she wouldn't take any at this feed, just wanted to sleep, so we were wondering if we offered her a bottle at 7pm whether she'd sleep through. Regardless, how much should we offer her?

I forgot to add, I know three bfs is not a lot for an 8 month old, but this was her doing, not mine! She's rather taken to blw

At that age they are supposed to get 20oz of milk or equivalent per day.

I would go for 7oz feeds and do three of them if you can. When dd stopped BF she went 7oz at 8am, 4pm and 8pm
