last bottle in relation to bed??

When is your 9/10 month old's last bottle compared to when they go to bed?

Depends on how hard she fights going to sleep. Sometimes DD falls asleep right away and other times she fights and it takes an hour+. 9/10 it's the first. I don't really mind. This is the only time my DD cuddles with me so it doesn't bother me. I hold her for like 10 minutes after she falls asleep too just cause she is so cuddly.

My daughter goes to bed at 8:30 and has not wanted a bottle, making her last at about 6:30...she makes it through the night still but I am not sure if I should try to rework her feeding schedule because she is going so long without food....

I nurse DS at 7:30, then lay him in bed awake.

Same situation with us. I generally nurse him around 7:30-8pm, but lately because it's so light out then he doesn't want to go to bed. So, he'll play for an hour more or so, then when he starts looking tired again I'll nurse him to relax him and then lay him in bed awake. Generally, he'll fall asleep on his own within a few minutes.

We offer the bottle 15 minutes before bath time. Then the bath takes 15 min. And if he doesn't finish the bottle before bath we offer the rest after the bath while we rock and read a story. He always goes down awake.

He eats around 6:30 or 7. I nurse him and top him off with a bottle. He than gets a bath and goes to bed. Sometimes if he hasn't finished his bottle we'll offer the rest after bath.
