Is it strange my 8 month old doesn't drink a big bottle before bed?

My DS eats cereal and fruit for dinner between 5:30-6, and he hardly has interest in a bottle after that. Sometimes he will drink a couple of ounces(1.5-3oz) and then goes to bed around 7:30 if he stays awake that long. Is this normal to not have a bottle before bed. He will sleep until 6 - 6:30 the next morning.

i hope its normal b/c DD does the same thing. She started hating her bottles around 5 months. I still try a bottle 4 times a day but I am lucky if I get max 3oz a bottle each time. She would much rather have her regular food.

I spoke with my Ped who said it's perfectly fine as long as she still has wet diapers , which means she isn't dehydrated

totally normal - DS recently started doing the same thing. he has 3 bottles a day, 8 oz., 8 oz and about 6 oz. plus a jar of food 3 x a day and whatever else i give him to snack on (cherrios, puffs, pasta). his last bottle is usually around 6 or 6:30 but sometimes 5:30 and he goes to bed between 7 and 7:30.

he loves table food and my ped said that as long as he is getting a minimum of 18 oz. a day he is fine.
