8.5 months - how many milk feeds?
Gabe is eating solids again ) So pleased. He is gobbling up 1/2 a stage 2 jar and a yogurt or pud twice a day, plus a big bowl of baby rice and mashed fruit for breakfast.
I have reduced his milk, successfully this time, so he seems to be having 3 7oz bottles (usually drains it, sometimes leaves 1 or 2oz). But today we were out and he went to sleep before we came back so he missed his day bottle so only had 2 bottles (morning and bedtime) and he was fab with his solids.
How many milk feeds do your (similarly aged) babies take?

My lo was having 4 5oz bottles at this stage so much the same as your little man x
I think the reason he wasnt eating before was cos he was drinking 28oz of milk until the last 3 days!
Im gonna offer 3 7oz bottles like you say LeaPea and if he doesnt want them so be it.

Nathan usually has 3 7oz bottles during the day. But today we met a friend for lunch with a little bit of wine! It was only when I got home and made up his bedtime bottle that I realised I'd forgotten his afternoon bottle!! He was fine but was hungry for his bedtime one a bit early so I'm waiting to see if he wakes earlier for it to.
Is Gabe still sleeping well. Nathan is hit and miss, always goes all night but wakes as early as 5am (kills me!!) and as late as 7am. Cant figure out why???

He has 2-3 meals a day (usually 1/2 bowl of porrige or 1 round of toast for breckie, main meals usually 1/2 jar stage 2 food and pudding. He will have finger food snacks as well).
There is a weening party at playgroup on monday so will speak with the advisor as I still dont really have a clue what Im doing LOL.
Zacky just loves his milk, unlike his mommy (I cant stand the stuff, thought of it makes me feel sick LOL).
Jemima has 3 bf feeds and a dreamfeed/night feed.
Shes also on 3 meals a day, 1 weetabix, 1/2- 1jar of stage 2 or equivalent for lunch and tea. finger food for snack and starting to offer finger food for lunch. So it sounds very similar so I would say thats fine.
Im just trying to encourage her to drink more water/juice during the day.
IF my oh gets home just as im putting her to bed. She'l be all excited and go to bed later. Im guessing thats why Gabe isnt so good at w/es as hes not used to spending so much time with your oh. xxx
