Size of bed time bottle?

How many ounces is your LO bed time bottle and do they sleep through the night?

DS tends to have a. 6 oz bottle before bed usually followed by a little nursing to fall asleep but still doesn't sleep thru the night. He wakes up in anywhere between 3-5 hour increments. He's just shy of 5 months.

I m concerned if I fed him more he'd spit up. He's not asking for more when he finishes the 6oz so curious what other babies are doing.

Thanks

I nurse so no advice of the bottle size, - although DS takes between a 4-6 ounce bottle at daycare so it's probably accurate, but I feel your pain. DS just turned 5 months and his sleeping is all over the place. One night he'll sleep through the night and the next night he'll be up 4 times starting at 9 pm.

At 5 months my ds was not sleeping through the night no matter what he had before bed.

Give whatever he we take before bed and the sleeping part will come when he's ready.

My son takes an 8oz bottle before bed. He's 7 months.
sometimes he drains it, sometimes he falls asleep and leaves two ounces.

both my DC were sleeping through the night by then and by through the night I mean from like 10/11-6 or 7.

I cant remember the amount I was giving at the time but its the same amount I gave though out the whole day. for all of their bottles I always filled it up an ounce more than I knew she was drinking. this was on my drs advice so I know when its time to up the ounces ... when they finish the bottle of consistently then you know you should up the ounces.

ETA: night bottles sometimes they would finish it sometimes they only drank a few ounces.

My almost 5 month old still wakes twice during night--every 4 hrs or so. Doesn't matter solids, etc. At 6 M I'll start some sleep training.

DS is almost 5 months old and our pediatrician had us put rice cereal in his bottle bc he went from sleeping through the night to not. We give 1 tsp of rice per oz, so he gets 5 oz of formula with 5tsp of rice.

At almost 7 months, she takes a 5-6 oz bottle but sometimes she STTN, other times she wakes up screaming for a bottle.
