Bedtimes for a 4 month old

[loz]

Which formula did you try hun? We use aptimil, I find it really good

I tried SMA gold - I think I will buy several small cartons of readymade stuff to try her with different types to try and get her used to it. I will definately try aptimil.

I second Aptamil. Its supposed to be the most like breast milk

Evie falls asleep now at around 7pm and stays asleep til around 7am!

I just followed her lead TBH although I make sure she has her blankie and rabbit to snuggle with - it's worked for us

Well the last 2 nights Emms has had a feed at 7pm and then had a sleep until 8.30 - 9pm which has been really nice. She is really cranky if she doesnt have an evening sleep and we have no crying if she does this When she is awake all evening it still doesnt make a difference to the final time she goes to sleep!

I have tried the bringing everything forward quite a few times to no avail! Last night I started at 10pm and it was still 11 when she finally went to sleep! I think I'll just have to wait until she slots into her own routine of falling asleep earlier, or she's old enough to do controlled crying.

I have tried her with a bit of formula now and the winner so far is Cow and Gate - she managed 1 1/2 ounces over an hour!! I'm hoping she'll take a full bottle eventually and this might settle her to sleep earlier in the evening too.

Thanks for the advice everyone

Evie's bedtime is about 7pm- she decided that herself though! I used to out her down about half ten but she'd sleep late in the morning whereas I am an early bird which makes it better for us that she slipped into a 7pm-7am routine
