I know there's probably no right or wrong way to do this but just interested in others opinions.
My 4 month old dd has been in a little routine for about the past 7 weeks....5 bottles a day at approx 7am, 11am, 3pm, 7pm and 11pm. She would then sleep through waking up 2-3 times but would go back to sleep with her dummy. I thought this was perfect for us.
Keep reading about other mums putting similar aged babies to bed at around 7pm and them sleeping through, so though I must be doing something wrong. (Dd usually sleeps between 7pm and 11pm bottles though).
Also Dh doesn't agree that occasionally I have to wake her for a feed.
The other day we waiting forever for a docs appointment and dd missed her feed but slept right through till 6pm so I though maybe I should just demand feed.
Tried this for 2 days....she sleeps longer in the day and feeds every 5-6 hours and will take an extra oz on each feed, but she is restless in the night and wakes at around 3.30am hungry.
My initial routine worked better I thought, so should we just go back to that?
Sorry this is so long, just wanted to give all details.
