What time do you settle your 2 week old for bed?

[Kirsty88]

Do you class the 7,8,9,pm(rough feed time) or the 11pm/12am as babies last feed where you settle them for the night? Also how many hours do they go in between feeds and how many oz's do they take if formula fed...little one is 2 weeks old x

I always classed it as 11pm as both kids fed then and I went to bed afterwards. My youngest was breastfed but my eldest was formula fed, every 3 hours day and night like clockwork lol. Would've been on 2oz or 3oz I think at that age.

My son (formula fed) ate about every 3 hours at that age. 2-3 oz, as mentioned above, sounds about right. I just considered any feed in the p.m. hours as a night feed. After midnight, it became a morning feed.

Every 3 hours about 3 oz. I go to bed at 8 but my DH puts her to bed at 11 after he feeds her.

Thanks for your replies, my lo is feeding about 3oz every 3 hours sometimes 4 hours during the night feed. I've been taking her up to bed at the 10/11pm feed x

I don't think they have a night time at that age really do they?

We go to bed between 10:30-11pm, so that's when baby "settles" for the night.

She isn't really consistent with the time between each feed, or the amount that she will drink. She will go anywhere between 2-4 hours and have anything between 2-4oz. No night is the same!
