Nurses to drowsiness about 4 ounces or so I'd guess.

when he cries or just before he cries!

Exclusively formula or a bit of boobie too?
9am, 12pm, 3pm all booby, 6pm, half booby half formula. 10pm and the night feed, formula. If he for whatever reason finishes his formula in the night I sometimes put him on the boob or if he is being a pickle and refuses the bottle at 10pm (2 out of 5 times maybe) I boob him for a bit and then quickly take him off and give him the bottle. I feel a bit mean but I don't want to breastfeed all the time.

When do they go to sleep in the evening and how many times up and when in the night? and if sleeping through when do they have last feed and how much?
if we can get him to sleep after his 6pm feed he'll sleep and only wake up to be fed at 10pm, 4-6am and 9am. He doesn't tend to sleep for more than 10, occasionally 30mins during the day tho.


I'm finding this thread really interesting to read! Thanks for starting it Sonny.

Hi Sonny, Hope Tabs is well:

How old is LO?

7 months and 1 day

How much did LO weigh at last weigh in?

14 lbs - that was at about 4 months

How much does LO eat in each feed on average?

4 bottles of 4-8 oz
1 bottle of 2-5 oz
breakfast, lunch and dinner - 2 to 3 ounces of formula with roughly 2 tablespoons of solids (home cooked)

How many feeds per day?
6 - will drop to 5 soon as he is taking less at his dream feed - so we will drop this when he is ready

How far apart are the feeds?
Approximate times below based on when he wakes. Feeds are roughly 4 hours apart except for anfternoon as we have now introduced lunch and mid morning and mid afternoon snacks are slightly smaller bottles.

7.00 am Bottle + breakfast
11.00am Bottle
1.00pm Small Lunch
3.00pm Bottle
7.00pm Bottle + Dinner
11.00pm Bottle



Do you feed them like clockwork or when they cry for food?
Like clockwork - he's never been good at asking for food himself! We don't regiment his feeds but feed at approximate times when he seems ready to eat.

Exclusively formula or a bit of boobie too?
Formula only since 3.5 months

When do they go to sleep in the evening and how many times up and when in the night? and if sleeping through when do they have last feed and how much?


Between 7.30 and 8.00 pm to bed
Mostly sleeps through except when teething or when he wakes up on hands and knees confused - poor little mite (maybe twice a week) - could be anytime at night, but goes straight back to sleep with a shush and paci.

Last feed at 11.00pm - soon to be dropped as he's only taking 1 or 2 oz most nights

demand, she doesn't really cry for food but more like yells at me! lol

More boob than formula. She doesn't like taking a bottle and she's a bit of a diva with formula food. She only likes Cow and Gate

When do they go to sleep in the evening and how many times up and when in the night? and if sleeping through when do they have last feed and how much?

She used to go down around 8 and doze in bed until she finally dropped off around 10. Now however, she refuses to be put in bed until 10-11 when she is fully asleep, and is usually awake until then. Slept last night through from 11-5:30, so I'm hoping it will be a regular thing!
