Baby drinking too much milk ?

[mrs55]

My baby is 11 month old now and he still drinks quite a lot of milk, from 8 month old he wouldn’t have milk during the day so it’s always been through the night and morning since then. Currently he’s down to 3 bottles but I also use formula in his breakfast. So bottle before bed 7 ounces bottle at around 10pm 7 ounces and a bottle anywhere between 4-7am 7 ounces and then around 9am breakfast with 5 or 6 ounces of milk. He screams the house down for his milk through the night and drinks it so I’m assuming he is hungry , he eats well during the day 3 meals plus a snack and eats big meals will he eventually just cut down on his milk ? My dd just naturally cut down before she was 1 having a bottle before bed and one in the morning . I’ve tried just settling him on a night and giving him a dummy but he definitely must be hungry.

I'm not really sure, but my 10.5 month old has maybe 5oz first thing, anything between 2 and 5oz at 11ish, at 3pm again anything between 2 and 5oz, and about 4 or 5 oz at bedtime. She's never been one to have a large bottle, she's always been little and often.

Does he have supper? Mine had a Weetabix and the rest of the milk in a bottle.. Ds slept through at 9 months..
Sent dh in with a bottle of water instead of the 5or 6 bf he wanted! Slept through on the third night.. He def hadn't been hungry!

He has his dinner around 4.30 with pudding then around 6/7pm he has his 7 ounce bottle before going to sleep he drinks it all then at around 9.30/10.30 he has another bottle I sometimes put his dummy in and he’ll go back to sleep at the 9.30/10.30 pm he did last night but woke up at 1am for a bottle then again at 5am I tried to settle him at the 1am and 5am but he was screaming the house down and drained both bottles, I’m hoping he’ll naturally drop the bottle through the night he just seems so hungry all the time he has really big meals through the day aswell he eats more than my 6 year old!

I might try giving him some supper inside of a bedtime bottle but I still think he’ll wake during the night for his milk which is the bit that I want to cut down on I wouldn’t mind if he had a bottle before bed and one at 5am he’s only just cut down from 4 bottles during the night .

I'd say 3 bottles at that age is fine. Give him a few months then try not giving him a lunchtime one and seeing how he goes.

He doesn’t have any during the day it’s all through the night which some nights kills me as I haven’t had a night where he’s slept through from birth he has a bottle around 6/7pm then one at about 10pm but this is sometimes 1/2am depending on if he sleeps through and then it can be anywhere from 4-7am for his next one lately it’s been 4.30am each night and he’s been waking through the night for his dummy as he’s got 3 teeth coming through , he then has 5/6 ounces in his porridge/cereal at around 8/8.30am. I’ll keep him as he is and hopefully he’ll cut down I’m just worried he won’t and I’ll still have a 2 year screaming through the night for his milk 😂he’s been draining his 7 ounces so I think I’ll move him back up to 8 again. My first dd is 6 so it’s been a good while since I’ve done the bottle feeding!

Does he just refuse milk during the day?

Yes from 8 months old he wouldn’t have milk through the day he would maybe have 1/2 ounces so I stopped trying as it was a waste of milk he just loves his food, it was always on and through the night it was 4 bottles and now it’s down to 3
