Bedtime!!

[steph01]

I have a 10 month old and at the moment he has his last feed before bed in his bouncer as i cant hold him to feed as he is such a fidget, once he gets to big for his bouncer which wont be too long, how will i feed him, hopefully soon he'll learn to feed himself, but in the meantime what do i do?

You mean his last feed of milk from a bottle?

Could you try putting him in his highchair once he gets too big for bouncer? You can strap him into the highchair to stop him wriggling too much.

Try just lying him on his back on a cushion on the floor and handing it to him - he's plenty old enough to feed it to himself and it's only for a few more weeks.

We put our 9mo on our lap with a pillow or something under her head. Sometimes it's fine, but sometimes she's too wriggly. If that's the case at bedtime I tend to put her into her cot & sleeping bag and try again. If she's still too wriggly then I now assume she's not thirsty and go on with putting her to bed. I read that I should be weaning her off bottle milk feeds soon anyway.
