My daughter has 3 meals a day and has 4 bottles a day aswell. She has one when she wakes up at 7am, then goes for a nap with a bottle at 10, then another for her nap at 2 and bedtime with one. She won’t fall asleep without a bottle even though sometimes she will only have like 1oz. My son was the same so I’m not concerned x
At this age I’d say try and introduce 3 meals. We’re on 3 meals a day and 3 bottles now, usually 7am bottle - 8oz, breakfast 8am, lunch around 11.45, bottle around 2.30pm - 7oz, dinner 5.15pm, bottle around 6.45pm - 5-6oz. I’ve been winging it tbh as my little boy was EBF until 6m old and then added an afternoon/ evening bottle of formula then he started biting me and not being interested in the boob so I made the swap to formula, and it’s working for us! Do whatever you feels right and be led by baby ☺️ xx
Sounds okay but I would add in the 3rd meal soon and he will probably naturally drop a bottle when he adjusts. My HV told me to aim for 3 meals around 9 months
