Does it matter when baby has their bottles?

[floofymad]

Just curious if it matters when a baby has their bottles during the day as long as they still have their milk allowance?..

i.e do they HAVE to have a bottle before bed?... Stupid question but my LO is sooo windy.

After age 1, do they HAVE to go down to a bottle before bed and first thing on a morning?....

I think they should have milk when they are hungry or when they want it! Feeding on demand!

No, it doesn't matter except that it should be spread out throughout the day. Most people give a bottle right before bed (even with cow's milk after age 1) just because it fills up baby's belly so they sleep better, plus warm milk induces sleep (some sort of natural chemical is released when it's warmed..idk the specifics lol). You don't have to give it though if lo is fine without it.
