Babywise...help getting started

CatDawn7470

Starting "Babywise" a bit late. The doctor recommended it to help LO get on a better eating schedule. He currently "snacks" all day long. We thought it was a phase and expected it to last a week or so, but his snacking stuck around.

Any tips on getting started late with Babywise? Will it still work?

Thanks!

There's a chapter for people starting it late. I started it at the beginning, but what I found most helpful in generating a routine was focusing on getting my babies to take a full feeding at every single feeding. Sometimes they just wouldn't so it's not like you ruin it if something goes awry. But with a full tummy they could put themselves on a routine that worked for them (and me). GL!

this exactly, also for us starting our day around the same time (I let DD dictate that)  really helped me a lot.

i just started today.  i have a very destracted baby who doesnt eat well during the day,  so today i was determined. i sat in a quite room and fed him, then walked around while burping him so that he didnt go to sleep, then about 45 mins later i put him in his crib and let him cio, it only took 15 mins and i went in 2 times to pat his back. and he slept for 2 hours! it was great! so then i changed his diaper and fed him, he didnt take as much as i would like but now he is playing and i will put him down in 1 hour.  i hope it works well for this second nap and we will try it tonight!  GL
