Four, but dropped to three just before turning nine months.
My advice would be don't worry about the amount and just go with what they are telling you. My first, I worried almost daily about how much milk he was having in a day and panicked if he didn't match what was suggested on the tin. This time, I've let her lead me and she's doing just great 👍

6, he’s 2 now and has 2 at night 😳, it gets him back to sleep and that’s all I care about.

Advice is 3 meals a day from 9 months, at 8 months 3 meals is fine. And snack from 12 months.

I wouldn’t worry, I’ve got 4 DC and each one of mine were only on 4 bottles a day from about 3 months old (maybe younger), as soon as they stopped waking for any nights feeds they only had breakfast/dinner/tea and bed bottle. By time they were 8 months I think they were probably down to 2 bottles because there were on 3 meals a day and just didn’t need all the milk to go with it.

My 9 month old has three meals a day, no day time.bottles (just wake up and bed time), so I've given snacks at bottle time and tried formula in a sippy cup but it's just refused.
