Brodie is 19 weeks and sleeps around 12 hours at night but still manages 5 bottles -he has bottles at
7am
10am
1pm
4pm
7pm
he is only on 1 meal just now at his 1pm bottle - i just give him his bottle then his solids straight after - i'm afraid it doesn't make him go longer before feeds - we have been doing this for just over 3 weeks now and i'm thinking of introducing a meal at either his 10am bottle or 4pm bottle - I think i am right in saying when u have started weaning they should still be having all their bottles til at least 6 months - he's not showing any interest in dropping a bottle

at 4 months the most important thing is that she needs to drink all her milk as this is where everything she needs comes from and food is just a supplement.
With louise (5 months now, started weaning at 4 months) she has a feed at around 8am, then breakfast at 9am. I try to give her lunch about 30 mins to an hour after her morning feed. I am finding though she doesn't eat much at this feed - I'm not sure if this is because she's not keen on the food or not hungry enough! I then give her dinner at 5-5.30 as then I know she'll be ready for her night milk feed by 7.30.
