Dropping a bottle

People keep asking me when I'm going to drop a bottle my boy is almost 10 months and is on 4 bottles a day is routine is
7:15am porridge
7:45am 5oz milk
10:30am nap
12pm 7oz milk
1:15pm lunch
2:30pm nap
4pm 7oz milk
5:30pm dinner
8pm 7oz milk then bed

Not sure if I should be dropping a bottle and if so which one any help/advice welcome

I’d drop the 4pm bottle and bring dinner to 5pm, see how he gets on and you could always change if needed. My boy didn’t seem to naturally drop a bottle unless I stopped offering, he used to do:

7am bottle
8am breakfast
9-10.30 nap
11am bottle
12pm lunch
1pm bottle
1:30-3:30 nap
5pm bottle
6pm diner
7:30pm bedtime bottle

first I dropped the 11am bottle and offered lunch earlier when needed and he started eating more for lunch, then I dropped the 5pm bottle and bought dinner to 5 instead

I was just going to say the same Wink

Have you given it a go yet @Vickib88? How did you get on Wink

It's fine to keep all 4, if you feel he's ready I'd drop the 1pm one and make that a bigger lunch, then give a bottle after his afternoon nap rather than at 5pm. If he gets hungry before tea, give a snack or an earlier tea.
