Should I make this her bedtime?
« on: February 08, 2011, 19:22:53 pm »
DD nearly 3 weeks. Although i have decided to not worry too much about routine at the moment I just have a question about bedtime. DD fed at 330 and asleep at 430pm. She slept until 630pm and I fed her, she is feeding still now and think will be asleep soon. Should I make this her bedtime and put her up to bed or should her bedtime be later at this stage? I have not been doing dreamfeed and just waiting for her to wake which is usually every 2 to 3 hours at night. I cant seem to fit cluster feeds or dreamfeeds in.

If it were me, I would start this as a BT now.  You are still so so young to have a proper EASY, but the beginning is meant to be a "start as you mean to go".  So with that in mind, I would say this is a reasonable time to Go To Bed IYKWIM.

So far as feeding...again you are on the itty bitty side so you might not get a cluster feed or a DF yet.  2-3 hrs at this point is reasonable to expect.

Good Luck!

With dd2 I would just let her sleep as long as she would sleep if she fell asleep after 5.30 (so her bedtime was anytime between 5.30 and 6.30 until she was about 3/4 months I think) - so I would definitely go with the 6.30 bedtime if that suits her.
