Babies: 3 - 6 Months

WWYD last feeding

My 16 week old will sleep through the night until 6am as long as he has his last bottle at 9pm. However, most nights he has a bottle at 6pm and then falls asleep around 8pm resulting in him waking up at 3am to eat. Should I wake him up at 9pm for his last feeding so he'll sleep longer? What would you do?

  • If he doesn't fall asleep until 8, why don't you feed in a bit more before then?

  • Never thought of that. Thanks!
  • DS2 goes to bed at 8:00 or 8:30.  If his schedule gets thrown off and he eats closer to bed time than normal then I will top him off around 8:00 as long as there has been at least an hour and a half to two hours since his last feeding.  He usually doesn't take a full feeding, usually about 4 oz, but it does help him get to sleep faster and sleep longer.

    This. DS eats every three hours during the day but he will take a bottle at 5 and I give him another before bed at 7 even though its only been two hours.



    This except mine eats every 4 hours during the day.
