3.5 or 4 hourly bottles?

[*Becky*]

me again 

M has been on a 3.5 hourly feeding routine but it is getting harder to get 5 bottles in per day. This am she did a short nap but then resettled so it ended up being just over 4 hours from when she fed but then of course her next nap was rubbish. I have been waiting for her naps to sort themselves out for ages. Do you think I should just go to 4 hourly feeds now? The only reason I was holding off is because she is not established on solids yet (one small meal/day) but it is getting harder to fit these feeds in and if she has 4 x 8oz then she is only dropping 3oz in total anyway....if she does have 5 feeds I end up feeding after 3 hours or less for the last 2 feeds of the day...hope this makes sense.

Lol! Baby brain??

I will lock this one but yes, go to 4 hourly feeds. Don't forget that being established on 4 hourly feeds isn't solids dependent as there will be around 2 months of 4 hourly feeds before most babies start solids.
