We started weaning at 4mo after a week ds dropped his night time bottle (still wakes though )
So he was on 5bottles a day. The other day I noticed I was giving him his dinner to late 5-5.30pm but ds was starting to get tired and rubbing his eyes. I then realized everyday he asks to be fed about 4-4.30 but wasnt drinking much.
So I had a theory he was asking for dinner not milk!!!
The last three days he has had dinner at 4 and this seems to be going so much smoother. Then yesterday I realized he is now only having 4bottles a day. He is still taking the same amount of oz just drinking more each bottle and he has an 8oz bottle for bed anyway.
Is this ok that he only has 4bottles now? He is taking between 21-26oz per day plus two meals totalling about 170g
I havent been able to introduce lunch yet as I don't know where to fit it in but he will need to be used to that once he starts nursery
Our day atm looks something like this....
6am - 5oz
7.30am - 100g porridge
10am - 6oz
1-2pm - 7oz (depending how long his 11am nap is and when he goes down)
4pm - 70g dinner
6pm - 7-8oz
