Bottle feeding
Is bottle feeding on a strict schedule?
Angie
Hi there,
I'm really curious about how you all feed your babies exactly. My son is now 7 weeks old and sleeps & feeds differently every day. One night he wakes at 04:00 and I can stretch it until 05:30 with a pacifier, then he gets bottles at 05:30-09:30-13:30-17:30-21:30. But sometimes he wakes at 04:00 and then his bottles are at 04:00-08:00-12:00-16:00-20:00, and he'd need his last bottle at 00:00. Now, in a few weeks I have to go back to work, and I'd really like his last bottle to be between 22:00 and 23:00. I just don't know the best way to handle this. Tips are welcome!
Best, Angie!

Sorry, but I can't help you with that... I always followed the bottle-feeding guidelines for both my kids... I followed the recommendations for both my son and my daughter... -

So give it a try! Never worked here and always on demand. Over time, a rhythm naturally emerged, and once you have that rhythm, you can try to change it... until there are regular days or busy days and everything gets thrown off again. -
