Falling asleep while eating? Bad?
« on: December 01, 2011, 01:36:23 am »
 My little one is 7 wks and I've noticed our feedings take about 20-30 min he drinks 4 oz every 3 hrs with his last nf at 7 and a df at 930 he does sleep from after his nf(say 730)until 330-4 am sometimes even later. He falls asleep while drinking during his last feeding and I try not to be loud because after that I put him down so I'm scared ill wake him up & then he won't settle. Am I wrong should I keep him fully alert eyes open at every feeding except of course the df? Is a bad habit forming by letting him eat that way?

He sounds like he is doing well with his feeds! In an ideal world it is better to put him down drowsy but awake after his bedtime feed but he is so little I really wouldn't worry about it for now. You will find as he gets bigger he probably won't fall asleep so much on the bedtime bottle but if he is able to fall asleep at naps without a bottle it shouldn't be a problem.

My two fell asleep a lot on the bedtime bottle and long term it hasn't caused any problems!
