When did you cut down to 3 bottles a day?

DD is almost 10 months and still has 4.

7:00 7 oz (never drinks it all)
8:30 oatmeal/fruit
11:00 7 oz bottle
1:00 veggie/cheerios/sippy with water
3:30 7 oz bottle
6:00 jar of veggie/meat, fruit, sippy with water
7:30 7oz bottle

I also give or substitue some baby food for table food if i have something prepared.

It seems to be working, but I know alot of people drop down to 3 bottled around this time. I'm not sure when or what bottle to cut out.

Re: When did you cut down to 3 bottles a day?

DS still takes 4 bottles, but only his morning bottle is 8 ounces. The other three are 4-5 ounces and I give it to him after his meal/snack.

I am less concerned with the number of bottles and am more concerned about the transition to regular milk in a couple of months (whether he will drink it), AND about the transition to a sippy cup (so far he has shown NO interest).

ETA: DS turned 10 months this week

By 10 months DD was on all table food and wanted nothing to do with baby food. She pretty much was down to 2 bottles a day, because she would rather eat food than have a bottle.

Re: When did you cut down to 3 bottles a day?

DD's been on 3 for awhile. I just couldn't fit in the 4th. She has 3 8oz, but usually doesn't finish all.

7:30 breakfast fruit/oatmeal/ half a yogurt
9:30-10 8 oz bottle
12:00 veggie/fruit/yogurt
2:30 8 oz. bottle
5:30-6 dinner (veggie/meat) & fruit
7:30 8 oz. bottle

I need to get better with the table food.

DS is 11mths old and is still on 4 bottles per day. I have to try to cut one of the afternoon bottles out too

Re: When did you cut down to 3 bottles a day?

at about 10 or 11 mths we cut down to 3 a day - and at 13 mths down to 2.

Re: When did you cut down to 3 bottles a day?

Around 9 months we cut DD down to 3 bottles a day since she was eating alot of table food.
She's 11 months old and this is her schedule.
8 am - breakfast and a 6 ounce bottle - usually drinks 5 ounces.

12 pm - lunch and a 6 ounce bottle - usually drinks 4-5 ounces.

3 pm - snack

5/5:30 pm - dinner and a sippy cup of water

8 pm - 6 ounce bottle.

Re: When did you cut down to 3 bottles a day?

i was wondering the same thing. Bridget & Alanna still have 4.

i think eventually the late morning and early afternoon will become 1, but I dont see that happening soon.
