FINALLY got Jack into the hang of his bath, bottle, bed routine and last night he slept from 9pm to 4:30am HALLELUJAH!
The thing is, with him sleeping longer at night he's obviously going without night time feeds. I've been giving him 7oz bottles every three hours during the day and this seems to see him through the night. Over 24 hours he usually has 6 bottles. But because of how he's sleeping i'm only going to have time to give him 5 bottles in 24 hours instead of his usual 6. Does this matter? I thought ah well its only one bottle but for a baby i'm now thinking that a full 180ml less of milk is going to seem quite a lot.
How can i get round this? Should i just put his bedtime back 3 hours later or could i maybe give him bigger feeds throughout the day? Hope this makes sense xx
