Question on last meal and your LO bedtime

JoNi2010 · September 2013

As you guys probably know, I am re-Ferberizing and so far so good. Last night he slept from 7:15pm to 4:15am. I nursed him at 4:15 and he went back to sleep. That was 9hours and his last meal/snack was at 5:30-6ish. I would really like to get him to nurse later but I don't know if I would be starving him? I tried to push the last meal back but he does not sleep well sometimes at DC and getting him to eat anything when he is cranky is so tough!

Just wondering when your LO last eats for the day and when, or if, you guys feed/nurse your LOs before getting up for the day? What time does your LO go to sleep?

Olivia has her dinner around 6, when we have our dinner. Then we let her play and she gets a bottle right before I put her down for the night...8-8:30. This keeps her til 6:30-7am

Dinner around 6pm, he plays until 7pm then a bath and bottle (4oz or so formula) before bedtime at 7:30-8pm. He sleeps until 5:30am. Then his first bottle of the day is typically around 6am.

Lo has dinner around 530/6, and then I nurse before bed around 7. However, he doesn't STTN....he'll usually wake up around 3, nurse, and then I'll nurse him when he wakes up for the day between 630/7.

I don't think it's unreasonable for a baby this age to go 12 hours without eating (not saying all can, but a lot can), but be warned that might mean that he will start getting up for the day at 530.

Henry has dinner with us between 6 and 6:30. We feed him a 4 ounce jar of baby food an then provide him with an assortment of "snacks" on his tray for him to munch on using his hands. Usually this is Cheerios, cheese, crackers, chicken, or whatever we're eating. Then, depending on how much he eats for dinner, we give him a 4 to 6 ounce bottle of formula when we lay him down for bed between 7 and 8.

If he wakes up at or after 4am, we give him a 4 to 5 ounce bottle with an extra ounce of water and hope he falls back asleep until he wakes up for the day, which is usually around 6 or 6:30. His next bottle after that is usually at daycare around 8 or 9.
