Time between feeds

[bluebaby]

I need some advise on ff my LO.

She has recently taken feeds at:
8am - 9am
12noon
3pm
6pm
8pm (feed before bed)

She will wake at some point in the nite between 2am and 6am for a feed of 7oz

There is a 3-4 hour gap in the morning between feeds and 3 hours throughout the day but 2 hours between for evening feed and nighttime feed. This is because I have started to put her to bed earlier as she used to go to bed at 9pm -9.30pm. Do you think I should change her feeding pattern through out the day to make it longer between her evening and nite feed as sometimes she doesn't really want the 8pm bottle (but sometimes she does) Every other feed she takes 7 oz but at nite she will take about 5oz.

Sorry for the long story, I'm just not sure what to do???

Your LO's Pattern is simular to mine...

6/7AM
11AM
2PM
5PM
8PM

Sometimes the 5pm feed is 6pm, i think it helps keep him full all night, as he doesn't wake at all

If your LO has made this routine, i'd say its what she wants, i'm sure she'd let you know if she wanted it different

thats what Lana has been doing, but just the past few days she has not been into her last bottle so this morning (8.30) i gave her 8oz and she drained it, then she waited till *almost* 12.30 and drained another 8oz so im thinking perhaps she has dropped that last bottle in favour of more in the other feeds - but not really sure pmsl

Omar skipped all night feeds when he was 12 wks old. Now he only takes 4-5 bottles per day.

11 am 6 oz
1 pm (after his bath) 5 oz
5 pm 7 oz
7-8 pm 7 oz
10-11 pm 8 oz

Then he sleeps through until 10-11 am with no feeds in between. I started with baby rice yesterday & it replaced the 5 pm feed. xx

We dont give a feed just before bed.Lana set her routine herself and at the moment it is like this:
7am BF
10am BF (although sometimes doesnt want this,and when she does its only for a quick snack.lol)
12pm 8oz
4pm 8oz
7pm 8oz
She then goes to bed any time between 8.30 and 9.30 and sleeps until 7am
