Moms who have DC on 3 bottles...
what is your schedule. I'd like to cut out one of her bottles. She does the sippy during the day, but not with milk. She'll only take water in it

Re: Moms who have DC on 3 bottles...
I cut DS down to 3 bottles a day when he was about 9 or 10 months old. If I remember correctly his schedule went something like this
7 am 8oz bottle
9am cereal ( I was giving him regular oatmeal with applesauce mixed in) and sometimes a banana too.
Nap followed breakfest
When ever he woke up he would get an 8oz bottle
Then 2 hours later he would get lunch then he would he his dinner by 5pm and then have his last bottle at 7pm another 8oz.
I hope this helped. I only had a morning schedule and that was it. I basically alernated between bottle and meal and he had 3 of each. By 11 months I cut out the middle bottle and added a snack of fruit instead.

Re: Moms who have DC on 3 bottles...
Their schedule is:
-Wake - sippy cup with milk/formula (still transitioining)
-Breakfast
-Lunch
-About 1/2 hour after lunch and about 15 mins before their afternoon nap they get a sippy with milk/formula
-Dinner
-About 45 minutes before bed a sippy with milk/formula

Re: Moms who have DC on 3 bottles...
We just cut Bryan back to 3 bottles.
He gets 6oz with breakfast.
Then after lunch (about 30-60mins after) he gets another 6oz.
Same with after dinner.
During the day we are introducing more water. He takes some here and there, but, is not a true fan of it yet.
There were 1 or 2 nights where we gave him an extra 2 or 3oz to help him fall asleep. We are going to try and cut that back out again soon.
ETA: DS just turned 10 months.

Ava is on 3 bottles, but not on purpose. More because I forget at some point. She has been fine. I haven't been sticking to a schedule really with the inbetween bottle. She has her morning one, then breakfast, then after her nap she has lunch at about 12 or 12:30 and then her next bottle either before or after her next nap, which varies, then her dinner and night time bottle.

Three hours after first bottle- lunch
three hours after lunch- the second 6oz bottle- usually coincides with afternoon nap.
three hours after bottle- dinner
Bottle before bed- usually 6-8 oz.
