Last bottle before bed how much?

I am currently breast feeding my little one we have started giving bottles of formula once a day usually 7oz. My little one has bottle of pumped breast before bed occasionally but I want to get him used to having occasional formula before bed but unsure how much to give him?

You give him the recommended amount stipulated on the tin. But if you give him dinner you might need to adjust the amount of formula you give him unless there is about 2 hours between dinner and bedtime bottle in which case the amount on the tin for his age ☺️

@Elizabeth Aneiros it doesn't say for 9m old

Ok so about 7oz or 210ml

It depends on the baby really. Up until the last few days my girl would never drink more than 150ml per bottle but then the past few days she has had 210! She has it around an hour after dinner. You could try giving 7oz and see how much he has. Try it for a few days and see how it goes

It will depend on what else they've had. Mine will sometimes only do 5oz but tonight demolished 9oz!!! I'd make a bit more than you think and assess over a few days

Try 7oz and if he drinks it all then the next day give him 8oz. If they are finishing bottles they should be upped an ounce x We have 9oz before bed but I think that is more on the greedy side but my baby loves his milk 😂 x

I am not wanting to do every night just occasionally in case I want to go out.

@Chelsie mine is big boy wearing 12-18m clothes and nearly out grown. So might try 9
