How many ounces before bed?

Gabe&Dana

DD just started solids and eats about 4 ounces of sweet potatoes around 5:30pm. Before we started solids she would take an 8 ounce bottle of BM before bed at 7:00 but now is only drinking about 4 ounces. Since we started solids, she has been waking up at night wanting to nurse, rooting around like she is hungry.?How many ounces does your LO drink before bed? I am so confused on how to coordinate all of this! Maybe I should feed her solids earlier and give her a larger a bottle to tide her over night.

I BF my LO at 6:00, I think he probably eats about 4-5 oz, then at 7:00 he eats about 4-5 oz of solids. He doesn't need anything else (he goes to bed at 8:30) until 6:00 the next morning. We've been doing this for about 2 months and its been working really well for us.

Great! Maybe we will give that a shot and see how it works. Thank you!

I nurse so I'm not sure but maybe about 5oz. DS has solids at 5:30pm too and goes to bed at 7pm. I nurse him on both sides (normally he nurses on one) so I think that's about 5-6oz. He gets up at 6am. DS wakes up during the night only if his other meals during the day were too small (sometimes he doesn't eat much at daycare so he makes it up at night).
