Mixed Feeding and Weaning

DD is 8 months old. She has a mixture of formula and breast milk and now solids too, which she is doing well with. Its getting hard to keep track of it all though and not wanting all of her bottles so I think I need to reduce the milk feeds now, just wondered how others do this. A typical day at the moment would be:

7am - breast feed, she doesn't seem to want much at this time
8am - breakfast (solids)
Mid to late morning after first nap- breast feed if she seems to want it, she doesn't always
Midday - lunch (solids)
1ish - formula bottle before nap
Then it gets a bit messy... she will usually have another breastfeed or two mid to late afternoon after nap.
6pm - tea (solids)
7pm - bottle before bed (offered 240ml doesn't always have it all)
10pm - formula dream feed.

That seems like a lot? I think less milk feeds might be the way forward but if she gets cranky I often just offer her the boob which generally does the trick!

Maybe ask this to be moved to the feeding topic, this is Childcare.

I would just reduce the amounts in the bottles but it doesn’t really seem like she is having lots of milk from what you’ve put
