Dropping from 5 feeds to 4?

[polo_princess]

When did you drop from 5 bottles a day to 4? Obviously once they were weaned .. but did you just follow their lead and try to drop the bottle they are drinking the least milk from with a meal?

Im tempted to drop our 10.30 milk feed .. and just let her have a "snack" between breakfast and lunch as she only drinks 2 or 3oz's of her normal 7oz bottle.

She would still be having around 25 - 27oz of milk a day plus her 3 meals without that feed

Jasmine was about 6months old when we first dropped a feed as she was the same as Brooke.

Yep PP I just followed my childrens lead, and it sounds like Brooke is ready to drop that feed.

Trouble is ive got to first move her "breakfast" to the 7.30 feed and not 9.30/10.30 otherwise she'd be missing out so will have to do that for a week then the following start trying to drop the feed.

Breakfast just "fitted" at that feed before wheras now she's getting older it seems a bit late in the day for it

hey hun i dropped annabelles afternoon feed then spaced everything out differently.

annabelle gets up has a 4oz bottle then she has another 4oz bottle at 9 which makes her cereal and she drinks the rest she has another 6oz bottle at 11 lunch at 1 6oz bottle at about 3ish then tea at 5 then bottle for bed
