How many bottles?

For babies who are formula fed and who are also eating 3 meals a day - how many bottles are they having? We have dropped to 4 from 5 but thinking of making the drop to 3. I’m not sure if I’m just feeding him a bottle out of habit/routine as he isn’t ever crying for it but would still finish the whole thing.

I would say, go with your LO needs..I used to give mine 3. Until she didn't want to drink the evening one anymore..the health advisor told me it was normal because she was eating enough. So I dropped the afternoon one so now she only has 210ml in the morning and 200/240 in the night and she seems ok :)

My little one has 2 bottles a day 7oz in the morning and 7oz at night and seems to be fine

I dropped for 5 to 4 and this week I’ve dropped the 4th, I’ll offer 7-8oz depending on how much of the last bottle he drank x

Still doing 4 7oz bottles

Most days we have 3x8oz bottles. Some days she’ll have a 4th bottle but is only a few oz

Still having 4x7oz here too occasionally he only drinks 6oz but not often enough to drop a bottle yet

Still having 4 x 5oz 150ml bottles 3 meals a day

Mine is having 3 x 7oz bottles a day and 1 at night x

2 = 7 oz on a morning and same before bed. Breakfast, lunch and tea in between and water. Mine would have 10 bottles a day if I gave him them 😂

Thanks everyone! I think we’ll try and drop one and see how it goes

Most days 3 x 7oz but usually leave about 1oz at night sometimes she only has 2

2 bottles now and barely drinking them. Today she’s had 11oz and 3 meals x

3 x 7 oz bottles and 3 meals x

I'm definitely odd one out as my baby barely eats her meals so we are on 6 bottles a day of 4-6oz. Most of the time she drinks 4oz but night and early morning bottle usually 5-6oz. I really wish she would eat more actual food 😭

@Suchi I feel you on this!😅 meals have become a chore for us so trying to make it more fun and going to try for 3 meals a day not to mention before bed I always take up two bottles with me and just recently she will happily drink almost 2 9oz bottles 😳

Jeez I feel like my baby must be the hungriest girl going 🤣 she still has 6X7oz bottles over 24 hours most of the time as well as 3 meals! She loves food but doesn't always eat so well as I think she just gets bored of being strapped into the highchair!! She has 1 in the morning when she wakes up, 1 before her first nap, 1 just before lunch, 1 on her 2nd nap, and 1 for bed and the one in the night as well! She doesn't always finish them, but certainly wants them that often still!

My son still has 5 or 6 bottles a day as well as 3 meals. I read that they should still have 600ml a day

@Letitia my HV said from 10m they should drop to around 14oz/420ml per day and may drop to this earlier as it’s just a guide. My little one has 3 bottles a day totalling around 16oz per day and no concerns 🙂

@Jordan aww ok. It wa just what I read on nhs website x
