Do you let LO sleep past feeding time if they're napping?

sescms2004

Our twins are now 7.5 mos old (6.5 mos adjusted) and we are now on a feeding schedule of bottles every 4 hrs during the day, plus two solids meals at breakfast and dinner. They nap for an hour to an hour and a half in the mornings, and an hour and a half to two hours in the afternoon.  Every once in awhile they will still be sleeping when it's time for their next bottle.  I always wake them up, if they are, so that we can keep them on the schedule.  They also STTN 11 hours, and I feel like keeping them on a schedule helps with this.  At what point do you/did you start letting LO sleep past feeding time?  Or is it better to keep to the schedule?  I'm just afraid of things going to hell in a handbasket if we didn't keep to it.  Thanks for any advice!

I didn't want to read and run. My immediate thought? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

We're not there just yet but my gut reaction is that if this is what is working for you (and it sounds like it is from a sleeping stand point) and their growth is good, don't mess with success.
