Hello
Can anybody help me with getting my baby into an earlier bedtime I haven't got a clue how to introduce it.
He currently sleeps 10 hours a night and has good naps in the day (either 2 or 3). He was going to bed quite reliably around 8.30 but has been ill with one chest infection and cold after another and it's totally knocked him out of his routine. When he was going to bed earlier he was waking at the same time so sleeping for longer overnight.
My problem is trying to squeeze 5 bottle feeds in, I end up having to 'squash' some in so it feels like he is having a bottle a meal then another bottle right on top of each other. Also, if he has a longish nap then I often end up giving him his last two bottles within 2 hours of each other as he is just so tired otherwise.
People keep telling me he will naturally 'drop' a bottle as he eats more. Dropping a bottle would make it easier. He often leaves a couple of ounces in a few of his bottles.
