You are doing a great job momma! ♥
DD was stuck on 8-9 7oz bottles at 8 months with meals and at 17 2-3 6 oz bottles with meals/snacks. She's starting to prefer real milk, meals and juice more often now instead of the bottle. It's more comfort now.

4 bottles is fine for an 8 month old. mine only drank 3 and no he's 9 months and only drinks 3 and has 2-3 solid meals a day. the can of formula i have says 3-4 200mL feeds a day at 8 months I think that's about the same as 8oz.

That seems like plenty, he should also be eating 3 meals a day and having a water as well. I can't remember if its now or a bit later that they also are supposed to have snacks in between meals.

Have you started him on baby food yet? You can also start him on a cup.
