How much milk are you giving your baby?

2, one at 6-7.30 when she wakes. Then last one before bed. No milk in the day anymore. It's about 180mls / 6oz each time, but my girl has always drank less than other babies. She's got better at eating recently too, so sometimes she doesn't finish the night bottle anymore.
We do 3 bottles a day (1 before each nap and one before bed) but I’ve cut them right down to 5oz per bottle because he eats 3 meals and snacks a day on top of that x
Btw on not enjoying water, I got through about 6 sippy cups before we found one she liked! Now we just leave it on the floor and she treats it like a toy, picks it up herself and just drinks whenever she wants. It's the TUM TUM Tippy Up Free Flow Sippy Cup. It doesn't have a valve or a weight so she loves it.
2 bottles, one in morning when he wakes and one before bed. Both 8oz. Sometimes I put t he morning one in a cup for him to drink himself
3 bottles - about 4oz, 3oz and 5oz, but she doesn't always finish them all, or sometimes I give a little more, esp if she didn't finish one earlier. The two in the daytime are now in a straw cup rather than bottle.
2 bottles - upon waking 4/5oz, bedtime 4oz
@Annem this is a good to know! He has the Tum tum cup with weighted straw in so maybe the one you have will be better for him! Thank you x
Thanks everybody!! I think I’m giving too much milk, he doesn’t end up finishing all of his bed time bottle so might reduce to 3 x 4oz and see how I get on! Nappy is so full/leaking by the time he wakes at 5am
3 6 oz bottles in the day, one 8oz in the middle of the night. One in the morning, one after lunch, one before bed and one in the middle of the night (though we’re working on cutting this one out) . I’ve tried cutting down but he loves it and is always asking for it
@Harriet my little boy is the same as yours. Can't get him off milk, so glad I'm not the only one as my HV makes me feel awful about it x
We do 7oz in the morning and 8oz at bedtime - sometimes does wake up in the night between 1-4ish and has a bottle the odd night x
2 or 3 bottles a day depending on nap time, 8oz in each bottle ( mostly drinks it all sometime will only have 6oz/5oz from a bottle) x
We do 2 8 or 9oz 1 when she wakes and 1 for bed.
