-Ever since liam moved to a 4hr eating schedule, it's seemed to throw naps around a great deal. bc he used to nap, wake, eat, play then nap again until next feeding.

if we try feeding before the 4 hr mark, he takes a few sips and stops. occasionally he will ask for a bottle around 3.5hrs. but usually not.

for example : wakes up at 7am for the day. but often eats at 5am/6am (stays asleep and sleeps til 7am).occasionally hell go right to 7am but not nightly.

so he's not hungry when he wakes first thing in the morning, and that definitely seems to wreck havoc on our day.

bc he just ate not long before. so he will eat again around 9am. which is also the starting time of his first nap of the day! then he will nap until 10 or 10:30. when he wakes, he has 2-2.5hrs awake time before he's hungry again!!! often right before next nap time, OR worse, it will be time to eat while he's napping.

he used to nap around 9am, 1pm and 5pm.

I'm trying to stick to those nap times bc bedtime is 8am and he does about 2 hour waketime with a 2-2.5 hr wake time from last nap til bed time.. but this 4hr feeding schedule is making it really hard to get back on a schedule.

could you tell me your loose schedule /routine? ESP if baby eats every 3.5-4 hrs.

does babys feeds and sleep go together? I'm also finding that his bedtime bottle isn't due at bedtime anymore so he only drinks about 2oz. if that. he does get a dreamfeed at 10:30 though. which is 6-9oz. so, maybe a feeding won't be an actual part of our bedtime routine anymore? idk...

I feel like I don't know how to get him back on schedule ever since he started feeding like this. which has been a few weeks now. I figured it would fall into place, but it hasnt.

so stressed! especially since our 3 older kids start school this week. would love to get this little guy back on track.
