Baby taking small feeds in the evening -11 wk old

[Audd]

Wondering if someone can advise me where I am going wrong-loosely follow EASY with my 11 wk but in the evening time he is only taking small feeds and I feel if he took big ones he would possibly get through the night-this was our EASY yesterday
9.00 e 5oz
9.40 a
10.15 s
11.05 a (in great form)
12.15 e 6 oz
12.50 a
1.15 s
3.30 e 6 oz
4.00 a
5.15 s
6.15 e 3 oz
7.00 a
7.45 bedtime routine
8.10 bottle 3 oz
8.30 s
11.15 dream feed 3oz
3.15 am fussing but will take Soother
4.15 3 and a half oz
8.30 starts fussing in sleep -up at 8.50!
Any suggestions?i know it's later than most peoples but it's nice having the lie on in the morning but if the late times are affecting things I will change!

Thanks in advance!

Not sure if this helps... But my baby is also 11 weeks and I keep her on more of a 7-7 routine so when do her dreamfeed at 10/11 it's been closer to 4 hours so she seems to gulp more (I breastfeeding so I don't know amounts) and usually makes it through until 7. That being said, I think this May be the start of her 12 week growth spurt and she woke last night at 5 for a decent feed and was hungry again at 7.
I'd watch to make sure her feeds are erratic- meaning hunger not habit- and maybe have more space between bedtime feed and dreamfeed (although Tracy says dreamfeed must be by 11 or it interrupts nighttime sleep cycles, she also bases this on a 7-7 routine so I don't know what to do with one that starts and ends later)

Hope this helps a little!

Thanks for that!yep trying to keep him to every 3 hours but he doesn't always seem hungry!although today he went nearly 4hrs after his big nap and only took 4 oz-I can't work it out! I might try start waking him 15 minutes earlier over the course of a few weeks until we are on 7 to 7! It's just daddy not home until 7 some days so felt the 8.30 bedtime gave him some extra time!

Hi Audd and welcome to BW
I see you've had some support from newyearsbabymomma already   I'm just going to move your thread over to the bottle feeding board to see if you can get some support from people who have experienced this.
I would say though, there are many families/cultures where the later BT is the norm so I wouldn't necessarily shift your entire day based on the Tracy's guidance routine.  Your LO is going to bed at 8.30pm and giving a good 12hr + night which is great.

Hi just writing this with him in bed beside me:( he took 6 oz bottles at 9,12.15,4.15 and a split bottle between 7 and 8.30,then another 4 oz at 11.30 but had a terrible night ! Was fussing most of the night!now I am thinking is he having too long a nap in the afternoon as yesterday he slept from 1.15 until 4.10! And maybe not a feeding issue?!
Sorry I don't know if I keep moving this post or what?! It's my first time posting so all advise appreciated!his christening is today so mammy and daddy will look like zombies in the photos;)

Hmm, your EASY didn't show such a long nap in the afternoon. Perhaps gently cap the nap at 2hrs by going into the room.  I used to put laundry away if I needed DS to wake up, that way he had a chance to sleep to the end of a cycle and gently wake.
