Seriously...tell me..what is your daily schedule? My LO still won't go to sleep until 11pm. I'm wondering if I can adjust my schedule to do something differently to encourage an earlier sleep time. He won't go to sleep unless he's had 8 feedings...here's our routine:
He wakes up: 5:30-6am
Nurse
Cereal: 7am
Arrives to daycare: 8,8:30am
5.5 oz BM Bottle: 9, 1, 3, 4:30
Nap 9-10am and 1:30-3pm
Pick-up from daycare: 5:15
Nurse at 6:30
Dinner at 7:30
Nurse at 8:30, 9:30, and lately 10:30pm
Re: Working moms of babies who go to sleep early...what is your routine?
6:45- wake LO to dress and nurse
7:20- leave with daddy for daycare
8:00- arrive at daycare
Daycare bottles around 9:30, 12:30, 3:30- 4 oz each. Solids (baby led weaning) around 1pm.
4:30- pick up at daycare nurse in lactation room
5:10- home
Prep bottles, play, walk the dog
6:30- nurse
7:00- dinner (baby led weaning)
7:30- bath and ready for bed
7:45- books
8:00- nurse (both breasts)
About 7 sessions which usually meant a night time wake up. However we did sleep training in June so fingers crossed he will continue to sleep through.
Can you try both breasts at night time to eliminate the 3 feeds each hour leading up to bed time? Seems like a big gap between the 9 am bottle and the 1 pm bottle. Maybe get another in there? 5.5 oz seems like a big bottle. I go by kellymom saying 1 to 1.5 oz per hour away. About 9 hours for you so 9 to 13.5 oz. LO is getting 22 oz which seems high. Maybe he transfers less milk at night because if the large bottles throughout the day?
