How to drop a feed

I'm in the same boat, my little one has 6 7oz bottles and breakfast and supper, however he doesnt eat much as I don't think he's very hungry. I know we need to drop a bottle but no idea where to start so hoping there will be some advice in your comments 🤞

Following. My LB will only take 5oz per bottle every 2.5 hours. I’ve tried to increase but he just won’t take it. We are doing breakfast every day (he’s just turned 7 months but late with solids as was unwell) and he’s taking quite a bit so hoping he might drop soon or go longer between feeds / wanting more per bottle.

How long is he going between bottle feeds? My boy has 4 bottles and goes 4 hours, 2 meals and no night feed anymore

@Lauren he's going 3.5 hours but the problem is he still does 2 night feeds. So 4 in the day 2 at night

We are the same, still two night feeds with 4 day feeds and two solid meals (not very big meals because i just dont think hes hungry). I'm just not sure if it should drop an evening feed so he has more food at supper time or if they 'naturally' drop a feed themselves 🤷‍♀️

@Lindsey I normally wait about an hour after a bottle to feed him. He likes his food so does normally finish his purées and I also offer 3oz water with each meal which he finishes. But even after all that he's still excited for his milk an hour and a half later 😭 I don't want to take away a bottle if he actually still needs it

I will feed solids about an hour and a half after the bottle and my LBs bottles are 4 hours apart. I will notice by the next bottle he won't take all of it. He's on 7ozs per bottle, just concerned that I'm starting to overfeed but being a FTM, ive no idea if or how to drop a feed as all the advice is to keep the bottles the same when weaning, but how on earth can they be hungry enough to increase their food intake until.they are 12 months? 🙈

@Lindsey if he doesn't take all of the bottle after a feed maybe you can drop that one? Yours seem to be satisfied after a meal so it would make sense to drop one.

Could you go longer between bottles? Or maybe try giving me more solids for each meal?

i don’t think you need to rush to drop the day bottles! all the advice is they will naturally start to drop them around 9 months. we weaned him off a night bottle by decreasing the amount by 30ml every 3 days alongside increasing the amount of milk during the day (if that’s any help!)
