When to drop bottles

2 replies

Hi all,

Bit of advice needed, my son is 9 months next week and currently has a morning, mid afternoon and evening bottle.

However I've noticed he's not finishing any of them and on his mid afternoon bottle he'll have max 6 out of 8oz and that's on a good day.

When do you know when to drop that mid afternoon bottle? I dropped the mid morning because he moved to 3 solid meals and was having 1 or 2 oz of it. Shall I wait until he's only having 1 or 2 oz of the mid afternoon and just make a smaller bottle?

Thanks all!

Same here - have dropped it over the last week or so. Offered it the other day just in case but he wasn’t interested.

Have been offering water in the day instead and he seems to have a little so we’re going with this.

Thanks @TheGlitterFairy

So hard to know what's for the best. I offered him the mid afternoon bottle yesterday and he took the whole lot whereas previously he's been having 3-5oz!

Think I'll keep offering for a bit then drop when he has a lot less!
