drinking less milk at 10 months?

My kids are ebf and eat solids, so when I'm at work, they drink 2 5 ounce bottles per day.
The past few days, they've struggled to fininsh the 5 oz. I didnt think they were supposed to drink any less milk than they already are. Any ideas? They nurse a ton when we are together.

DS is bottle fed but keeps dropping the amount he eats as he is starting to prefer food. We just upped him from 2 meals a day to 3. I think it's fine as long as they are still nursing "a ton" when you're together. As long as they are a healthy weight, I wouldn't worry.

I also read that Breastmilk changes with the baby so it might be that the milk is nutritious and you don't have to give the full 5. I am away from DS from 7am-7pm. He gets 4 4.5oz bottles. sometimes that last bottle comes home 1/2 empty (and i have to throw it out UGH). But DS eats 3 meals and has snacks (frut; yogurt). He nurses at home at night at least 2x; and sometimes 2x in the morning so he's getting enough milk

can your day care provider give him half the bottle and if he wants more, add more so you dont have to waste it?

yes, my milk is definitely more fatty, i can see it on the bottles!
