Do I just go with this?

For the last 3 nights DS continues to go to bed at 6.30 pm. Nothing can keep him awake beyond that so goodness knows what I am going to do when the clocks change!

Anyway, the first night he woke at 9 pm for a feed (I knew he'd be hungry because he didn't finish his supper). Then he didn't wake again until 3.30 am! Feed and slept until 6.

Night 2 was 6.30 bed, woke at 3 for a feed and slept until back of 6.

Last night bed at 6.30, woke at midnight and again at 5 for a feed. Into bed with me and we both dozed until just before 7!

I have just been letting him do his thing as he's only 14 weeks but his feeding times are all over the place during the day because there is no set routine at night. The only feed that is definiate is just after 6 before he goes to bed.

I have been giving him an extra feed in the afternoon so he's fed every 3 hours pm which has made the difference at night as he used to wake every 3-4 hours.

Do I just keep going? I am finding that it is hard to get out between napping and feeding but the extra sleep at night is fab!

Sounds perfect to me. Mine went to bed at 6.30 or earlier until about 6 months old. I found that if you give a midmorning feed at the same time everyday regardless of them asking then they come to expect it and eat enough in the lead up to it to set them straight. i.e. if wakes at 6, mine have extra snack before midmorn feed. If wake at 7.30 just go straight through to it.

I'm lucky if my DD (16.5 weeks) makes it to 6pm! I do try and edge it back towards 7pm but there's no changing it! My DD only wakes for a feed once most nights but then she feeds at least every 3 hours during the day, probably nearer every 2 hours on average

I was in this situation with my 9 week old. It didn't work for me as he was then waking at 06:30 or earlier. I now give him a short nap at around 5 and then put him to bed at 7-7:30. He seems much happier like this too - we get more smiles in the evening than before. Also means DH can give him his bath and the short nap means I can start on dinner (or go for a walk with him).

Feed on demand, as you are doing, and enjoy the long sleeps. He still goes through regular growth spurts so feeding on a schedule is a bad idea.

sounds fantastic! not sure what you mean by "no set routine at night". He goes to bed at 6:30, has one feed at night, and sleeps til 6 or 7am. SOunds like the dream routine to me!! as long as everyone is happy...
