Stopping breastfeeding - how much should baby have via bottle?

[mcflumpy]

I'm going to be stopping bf in a couple if weeks as I'll be going back to work soon an LO will be going to nursery. DD is 10mo and at the moment she has 4 bf's per day at 7,11,3&7 (loosely) I obviously have no idea how much she takes but on the occassions where she has a bottle at night she has taken approx 9-10 oz. During the day she'd have an 8oz bottle and is looking for more (doesn't get more as I'm not there).

She has 4 feeds per day at the moment but recently I feel she only feeds because I offer i.e. I think she may be ready to drop a feed?

Questions - how many feeds per day would you expect a 10/11 mo to be on per day and how much at each feed?

DD is a good weight (on 75th percentile).

TIA

In my experience it has been 2 (sometimes 3) 8/9oz bottles a day, morning and night, I suppose it depends on how much food they eat, routine etc.

Thanks izzy she's a regular eater (3 meals per day, no snacks as yet) and has a healthy appetite for solids.
She sleeps through so has a 12 hour Day time period which is relatively structured, 1 long nap, 1 short.

My DD dropped (well, I didn't offer and she didn't ask) her mid-morning feed at about 10mo then the mid afternoon one at about 11. I didn't want her to have a bottle so I replaced them with a snack and a drink from a cup. She was perfectly happy and seems healthy. She still has a morning and evening bf.

My HV suggested that once they are on 3 meals a day (including lots of cheese, yogurt etc) then they should only need about a pint of milk per day. Urr, not sure how many oz's that is though.

Next time you're in the supermarket - take a look at the back of a packet of Aptamil formula - there's a chart on there which covers age and weight.
