Need some opinions on mine and DD's routine.

6am feed,
DD falls back to sleep at 7am for 30 mins that chats (shouts) at her toys that look down over her moses basket at her for 1 hour, Sleeps for 30 min, shouts at toys for 30 mins, then sleeps for 1 hour.

10am feed.
DD awake for 1 hour and approx 15 mins, has play on mat during this time etc

Then DD awake after 30 min sleep, it is 50/50 whether DD then will go back to sleep after a little fussing. Awake from midday.

1:30 feed
DD quite grumpy and obviously tired falls asleep approx 30 after feed.

Sleeps for 30 min (if lucky)
Then awake.

At 4 pm by this point she is very tired as am I DD should really go until 5 before feed but usually give in and feed earlier.
As DD so tired bath very quickly and can be asleep by 5:30pm

11pm, we wake for feed.
Back to sleep by midnight.
Then starts over.

DD is 4 months old (19 weeks). BUT born at 34 weeks so corrected age is 16 weeks
Current weight is 5kg (10lb i think)
Takes approx 160 to 180 ml per feed (6 to 7 oz) Getting daily amount of between 600 to 750ml, which is ok for her weight.

What do you think?

Do we have a napping problem? Ideally would like DD to have last feed at 6pm or 7 pm.
Have thought about fitting one in at 7pm but she is getting enough milk and sleeps so well at this time that I do not want to distrub her. Also only time i can get anything done.

To be honest, if it is working, it is working iyswim.

However, 16-20 weeks is a huge developmental growth time and if you can manage it at all, the best way to ensure your child gets all they need is to feed and sleep on demand, - 'especially' the feeding.
