Hi Michelle,
My partner works nights too 4 on and 4 off. Since Lewis was 2 months, he has been having a feed about 7.30 - 8 in the evening and he then goes off to sleep. I wake him just before i am going to bed usually about midnight, change him, give him a feed and he sleeps through till about 6 or 7 in the morning.

Hi All,
Just wanted a bit of advice. My little boy Jack is nearly 10 weeks old and i have got him in a fairly good routine. I give him his last bottle of the day at 8pm after a kick about with his nappy off and a bath. He will then sleep until around 3.30am have a bottle and sleep (most nights) untill 6.30-7am. This means for me to get some decent sleep i have to go to bed at 9.30ish. which doesnt give me and my partner much time together alone. He works nights half the week so we dont see a great deal of each other anyway.
I Wanted to start feeding jack at midnight instead of leaving him untill 3.30ish and seeing if he will sleep through untill 6.30-7ish. Does anyone else follow a similar routine?? How does it work for you??
Any advice would be much appreciated

Love Michelle

Hi Michelle
Oliver was the same as this at about 10 weeks and i did what you are thinking of doing. i tried it and after a couple of nights oli was feeding at 7.30pm then 11.30pm then sleeping till about half 7am. this meant that i got a good 8 hr stretch almost everynight. this carried on for about 4 weeks and then feeling v tired one night i had an early night meaning that i was going to leave oli to tell me when he wanted feeding and amazingly he slept through without the 11.30pm feed and woke at half 7! genius!
at 5months i moved him into his own room and since then he has been sleeping from 8 till 8 since! so i would definately recommend giving it a try! good luck xx

my twin girls are now 15 weeks. This is their routine;

6.30/7 first feed
10ish feed
Sleep in cot for around 45mins/1hr
1.30/2ish feed
Sleep in cot for around 45mins/1hr
5.30/6ish feed
Playtime and-bath (every other night)
Bed around 8ish
10 dream feed-no nappy change-unless soiled nappy). They don't normally open their eyes!
Sleep right through (apart from odd cry around 3, then fall back to sleep.

I've done this for a few weeks now and it really works!!

Hi there, all 3 of mine were in good routine quite early on and all slept trough the night no later than 10 wks...i always tried to give them their last feed around 10-11pm and that would see them right through, so see if you can adjust the feeds in the day slightly and do maybe feeds at 6-10-2-6-10 o'clock, i found this to be a pefect routine for feeds and it worked for 3 of them..i know all babies are different but it might work for you too....

Good luck...
