What next? Doing 4 hour routine..but not hungry at 4 hrs...?

[Cory'stiredmommy]

Hi gals,
I have been on the 4 hr routine for 2 weeks... and Josh is sleeping from 11:30pm feed through to 7am feed... which is great. I am trying to feed him every 4 hours but am noticing that he is not hungry at the 7am or 11am feed. He takes a little but he is clearly not hungry.

What should I do?

Breast Feeding: 7am, 11am,3pm, 7pm and 11:30pm.
Naps: 9-11am and 1-3 with a 30 minute nap at 5pm.

Classic 4 Hr EASY.
BTW: He is 4.5 months and 17lbs

Love to hear your thoughts,

so... if he's not hungry at 4hrs mark, try maybe 30 minutes after he wakes from his naps.
and in the morning- 15 minutes after he wakes.
like 7:15
11:30
3:30

just a thought

Hi!

Thanks for the response,

Wouldn't that push his last feed later and result in a later bed time? Or do you mean wait the extra 15 minutes during the day but still do a feed at 7pm..... It will be small but maybe it will bring the 11:30pm feed forward to 10:45 or so?

Thoughts?
