Snacky eater

[mrsbeano]

Not sure if there's anything that can be done about this because I'm 26 and the same but LO still takes lots of small feeds in the day (and night!)

His days kind of look like this

6am - 5oz
9am - 4oz
12pm - 3 1/2oz
3pm - 3 1/2oz
5pm - 5oz
8pm - 3oz (dream feed)
11pm - 4oz (dream feed)

We have been doing the 11pm dreamfeed for ages but the 8pm dreamfeed is a new addition. It does seem to have done the trick and he isn't wanting a feed until the morning from then (he is still waking but settling for a dummy).

Any ideas for how to encourage fewer, bigger feeds?

I think that sounds pretty normal about every 3ish hours great he's sleeping through the night, keep up the good work x

I was going to say the same every three hours is a routine mine is eating unless he's sleeping lol could be only an hour that he sleeps then he eats again!

My LO is only 9 weeks but does the same- every 2-3 hours she feeds day and night, although she did go through a stage of sleeping 11pm after the dream feed until 6/7.30am. Nt any more :/ xx
