My routine is generally change nappy, feed and go to bed with bath time thrown in 2 x a week.
Baby seems to know that when he is placed in cot he goes to sleep.
BUT is 11-11.30 far too late? Will it create problems at later date?
Baby is b fed and does a lot of feeding up until this time and I just thought easier to let him nap downstairs with me than be up and down. He has his last feed about 11 and then I put him in cot and he goes to sleep. He is also able to self settle if his feed is not just before bed time.
He normally has a 5 hour chunk between 11-4 or 11.30 -4.30 then feed, sleep till 7.30 and then feed and snooze and get up between and 9.
Everything I read says I need to establish a sleep schedule and he should be going to sleep at 6.30! Otherwise, apparently my baby will have extreme difficulty sleeping properly when older etc.
Just thinking I'd be up and down like a yoyo to feed and then baby wouldn't really sleep for his 5 hours which coincides nicely with my sleep time. Plus, I would have to change his nappy several times which would wake him up etc.
What is everyone else's view/experience of this?
