Last bottle weaning??
Gwen1
My daughter is almost 6 months old and I'm wondering how we should, or if it's even necessary, to wean off the last bottle.
She currently drinks 3x180 and 1x210 with rice flour. In addition, she has fruit and vegetables. (Sometimes she finishes the jar completely, 4 months of jars)
07.00 - 180 ml
11.30 - 180 ml
15.00 - 180 ml
19.00 - 210 ml and rice flour
And then we give her milk again between 22.00-22.30. She doesn't finish the bottle then, often she drinks between 70-100 ml. You would think she gets more than enough and that the last bottle could be dropped, but this still isn't working. Last night we didn't give the last bottle... she woke up crying at 3.00. Drank 120 ml and went back to sleep. Woke up again at quarter to 6 and drank 80 ml.
Is it 'bad' that she still needs the last bottle? Any tips for weaning?

I gave rice flour, so it's a bit different. Zoonlief always used to wake up when we went to bed, no matter how quietly we did it. And suddenly he stopped, then he slept through completely.
I don't remember him waking up very early in the morning. Maybe you should give it some time and he'll wake up a bit later each morning?
I also gave rice flour in the last bottle I pumped at 4 months. Once it didn't work out and he suddenly slept through. Hihi, that shows you, if he had that rice flour back then I would have thought it was because of that.
So maybe it wasn't the last feed!
