Should I feed DD supper?

[GoldPlatedNineDoors]

DD is coming up nine months and has recently started at the CMs. The CM does dinner at 4pm, where ee would do it at 5. Dd then has some fruit after it, gets picked up between 5-5.30. She has a bath at six, bottle at quarter past and is asleep by 6.30.

The last few nights though, she has started waking at midnight and taking a full bottle.

She very rarely woke in the night in the past and would usually go back.over with a dummy or a drink of water.

I just realised it may be the timing of her dinner....should I give her a weetabix or similar before her bath, do youthink that would keep her fuller? Obviously still do milk too, at bedtime.

Hopeful bump.

I probably would give her something to make it through the night. DS is far more likely to wake up early if he didn't have a good tea.

I would, that is quite a long time without food until breakfast the next morning. Although we do things the other way round to you, the dc have a snack at about 3.30, then dinner is sometime between 6 and 6.30, then dd (12mo) has milk before bed at about 7.30.

Hello, my daughter has just started at nursery and they have tea at about 4pm too, which is earlier than she would have it at home. We have been giving her a 'snack' between getting home and bath time, usually something like a rice cake with cream cheese and fruit. She then has her bottle as usual before bed. Why not try it and see if it makes a difference?

I would, but I would give toast or a crumpet or similar, rather than something very high fibre like weetabix

Ooh, she likes crumpets, so may add one of those in before bathtime. Im hoping it'll push her bedtime back even 15/20 mins as by the time she gets home from CMs its pretty much bathtime so we barely see her some evenings.
