I am trying to get my newborn into a pattern as he is a very active night baby!! He has a good amount of formula in the day at each feed and settles great...But the night is the opposite! He takes shorter feeds and this means im feeding him at really irregular times?!I really could do with the reverse i dont know the meaning of sleep anymore!....Any advise/tips?

hi, how old is he? this might sound evil but cut down on the last 2 feeds before you put him to bed, then try a biggerbfeed at bedtime, should be hungry enough to have larger one after 2 small ones

how new is he? give it til 6 weeks , they just need to get their grips to feeding and their tummies too.
imo 12 wks is maybe when you can think about feed scheduling. otherwise these first few weeks (which seem like an age but go oh so quickly) fill him up.
