Bedtime Bottles-FF

Do you give your LO a bottle right before bed?  I hadn't been and DS usually goes to bed an hour and half to two hours after his last bottle.  But I was thinking it may help him sleep longer (he doesn't eat during the night but wakes often for his paci).

Yes.

I try to feed Ty as much as physically possible right before bed

I do usually but lately I've been trying to give her a bottle at least 20 minutes before bed. I don't want her to associate bottle or sleeping as one in the same. I want her to be able to fall asleep w/o sucking on a bottle. So far so good with a little help from Beauty and the Beast, lol.

@wasnotwas that's what I'm thinking.  I'm really not sure why I never thought of it before?  Lack of sleep I guess. 

I started tonight.  I didn't wait until he was super tired, so he didn't fall alseep while eating.

Yes. She'll eat 3 to 4 ounces every 3 hours throughout the day and then 6 to 8 ounces right before she goes to sleep and she sleeps about 12 hours.

Eh, I have no issue with him eating/nursing himself to sleep. I did the same with DS1 and it was never a big deal

yes I always do. if its only been an hour or so I might just give 4 ozs.
