hi all, i'm a bit confused as what routine my 5 month old ds should have, he was weaned early at 15 weeks due to bad reflux and has never been a big milk drinker due to this. is routine so far on a good day is...
6am milk 4oz straight back to sleep
7.30 awake
8am breakfast plus 4-6oz bottle, he doesn't really take much breakie so offer him milk instead but other days its the other way round!
9am nap anywhere between 45min- hour
10am
11.30 nap 45 mins somes has 2oz water
12.15is lunch and 6oz
2pm nap-2 hours on a good day (but normally 45 min then be awake for 20min and grizzle to go back to sleep for anoth 45 mins
4pm awake
4.30 tea 5oz
then hes normally awake and we start bed time routine have a bath then 6oz then bed, he can get quite grizzly but if we put him to bed earlier he fights and does take his bottle.
rarley wakes for a feed about 11.pm
my problem is is should i be doing meal and milk feeds seprate? also i have a cat napper and is rare he sleeps longer then 45min during the day he does go down quite well but does need a rock in his crib to send him off. the morning can be very hit and miss as today he only took 2oz at 6am then woke at 7.30 had only few mouthfuls of porridge and snacked on a 5oz bottle before crashing out about 8.50 then he woke at 9.30 i left him for 15 mins then gave him a rock and to my suprise fell straight back to sleep till 11 and his happily awake now. just wondering does this sound about right?
