If we can manage to grab her while she's still sleepy
but due a feed,we'll go with it!Otherwise,we'll aim for
the DF.DH is abit nervous to do it though cause we
havent yet.what time would you try it?i feed her at
7am,10am,1pm,4pm,6pm&8pm,give or take.

If she goes down settled and happily sleepy after a decent feed at 8pm I'd try between 10.30 and 11pm myself. We always did 11-ish DF, till 10-10.5 mths LOL!

I know what you mean about the sanity aspect...Emma never took a bottle but was such a great grubber come 6 mths and a great water drinker through a straw that in the end I didn't really need to worry...so you never know!

Yes,we used to do a 10.30pm DF with DD1,but I
dont think we did an 8pm feed.

Today has been a disastr.DH tried giving it to
her after nap 1,but no joy,even though she was
sleeping.

Then nap2 ended up as half a nap with DH not
able to resettle her.

We are going visiting now so that's this
afternoon out.
