Asking for some advice, i am first time mum
with 7 month old. We started to wean her at 6 months and she is eating more finger food throughout the day. she currently still has a bottle 8am, 12pm, 5pm and 10pm give or take on those times and finger food inbetween these times. She don't always drink all the bottles in the evening. Do i still keep her on 4 bottles a day at 7 months or drop a bottle and increase her food?

Thank you

Milk needs to be her main source of nutrition until 1. If she's decreasing her milk try giving smaller portions of food x

How much milk is she having in total over 24 hours?

She has 7oz bottle and drinks all of it she gets 8 bottles in 24hrs. I am not going to drop any bottles just wanted to make sure i was doing the right thing at the moment haha.

I think you want her off the bottle by 1. But still early yet.
My daughter never took a bottle and was down to one breastfeed a day and then self weaned the eve of her first birthday- great if they all did that!
