He still loves his first morning bottle but at about 4 mths, he was having a whole 240ml bottle and then wanting more an hour later at which he'd down another 180ml. That's why I thought starting solids in the morning feeds might help.

I am happy to try and cut back on the solids but it just presents a problem when it comes to making bottles and wasting formula. I am using up to 8 bottles a day just because he is "snacking" I suppose you'd call it. I can never tell now if he is hungry or just cranky or tired and it's a real pain not knowing how much he's gonna drink when we go out. I only gave him some veges this arvo because he was rejecting the bottle and really restless and cranky. Maybe I should avoid doing this and just stick to the morning feed for now.
