Less Bottle?

Question

My almost 11 month old for the past 2 weeks hasn't been drinking his bottles very well. he typically has 4 7oz bottles throughout the day. Lately, we are lucky if we can get him to drink 4oz out of each. He is eating just fine and drinks water from a sippy. I worry about him dehydrating or not getting enough nourishment. Anyone else experience this? Should we take him down to 3 8oz bottles?

Answer

My daughter will be 11 months on the 10th. She’s been drinking 5 4 oz. bottles a day.

Answer

My son will be 11 months on the 14th and he's been doing the same thing! Yesterday he had 21 oz of formula (made 3, 7 oz bottles but one he only drank 4 so we put the rest in a sippy at lunch time and he finished it) but woke up in the middle of the night and didn't sleep well the rest of the night. So now I'm not sure if he's ready to drop one bottle. He eats and drinks good the rest of the day typically though. He is cutting a tooth right now, so I'm sure that's messing with things also.

Answer

On an average day we are down to two 6oz bottles and one 8oz bottle (somedays he will take an extra 6oz bottle or two but there doesnt seem to be a pattern as to which days). Routinely he takes 6oz when he gets up, 6oz before his nap, and 8oz half an hour before bed. He is a really good eater and happily sips water from his sippy cup throughout the day. I do find that if I dont hold him when he has his bottles he will only take half before getting distracted with toys.
