The 3am feed

[Dona]

What age did your little one drop this feed? Any tips on aiding them to do this?

About 8wks old.
She did it herself so I don't have any advice I'm afraid. Have you tried giving an extra ounce during the last feed before bed or trying to push it back a little later?

It took us forever. I dont even remember what age, sorry. The doctors suggestion was to start diluting the flormula.

so like 2oz of water is normally 1 scoop of formula...

and if your son is taking a 4oz bottle then instead of using 2 scoops of powder use only 1. I did a few nights of this... they dont notice this transition that much. But then after those few nights i gave him straight water. THat really pissed him off but after 4 night he was over his night feedings.

5 weeks old, she just did it on her own..
May have been feeding her right before she fell asleep around 11:30pm for the night.. then she'd go until 5/5:30am.
