8 1/2 month old baby taking hour to drink formula

[Mamabeartoababybear]

Hi, looking for advice my 8 1/2 month old baby will have an oz to 3oz formula of a 7oz bottle and will have a break and likely finish the rest 30mins to an hour later.

He has 4 bottles a day and 3meals a day usually porridge in the morning a small jar at lunch with yoghurt or half desert and 2 defrosted cubes of mixed veg at dinner or half a jar and again yoghurt or half desert. He hasn't really mastered blw as yet.

Should he still be having four 7oz bottles I mean he is still drinking it all apart from maybe an oz here and there just not straight away or should we be reducing a bottle or reducing amount to less oz 🤔 or is should I carry on as I am haha!

What teat size are you using?
From 6 months 20oz is recommended alongside meals.

Have you changed teats? To fast flow?

My first did this and I realised I just needed to change the teat!

I'd drop a bottle. 21 floz is fine at 8.5 months.
