Hiya

Chloe is having 4 x 7oz bottles a day and they are timed like this:

7.00am Wakes up
8.30am bottle & about 5-10 teaspoons of baby porridge
12.30pm bottle & about 5-10 teaspoons of savoury puree
4.30pm bottle & about 5-10 teaspoons of sweet puree
7.45pm bottle and then sleep

She was on 5 bottles but has dropped the 6.00am bottle [thank god] of her own accord she just sleeps past it and when she does wake if we try and give it to her she pushes my hand away. She doesn't always take the full 7oz but usually at least 5 or 6.

Hope this helps.
