5:30 feed

[tammy29]

Hi all.Not sure if im posting in the right place.

My dd is 6 months old and goes to bed by 7am and sleeps through till 5:30.I give her a diluted bottle,put her back down and she usually sleeps till around 6:45.

I was wondering how long until she can go all the way to 7am without a bottle.

Have you tried re-settling when she wakes at that time without a bottle?

Perhaps try offering water, she may just be thirsty.

Yep,tried re-settling.She babbles for a bit but then starts shouting for her bottle.Cant give her water at the moment due to reflux.She sreams in pain if i give her water.
Does this mean she shouldnt be having it?

if she's hungry, feed her. BUT waht about her 'real' morning feed? does she take it eagerly?

She is happy to wait for it but as soon as she sees it,she wants it and drinks about 6oz.I do dilute her 5:30 feed.does this sound right?

oh, it's fine then
if she's taking her morning feed no problems don't worry about 5:30 feeding too much.
she'll outgrow it IMO.

good luck
Monika
