Night time feedings 😩

Jess

If anyone has any tips or advice to getting my 5 week old to eat her full last bottle before bed, please send them my way! She will eat 3-4 oz during the day no problem and usually eats every 3 hours. I usually feed her around 7 pm, she naps from about 8 pm-10 pm. And then attempt to give her her last feeding before bed around 10/1030. Every single night though I struggle to get her to eat even 2 oz before she passes out and wants nothing to do with the bottle. I’ve tried so many things, making loud noise, talking, putting louder music on, putting a brighter light on, and changing her diaper mid feed vs prior to her eating. Not a damn thing has worked and it’s so frustrating because I feel like she’s sleep a bit longer than 3 hours if she’d just eat more before bed! I’ve been trying to follow the same routine we had for my son when he was a newborn and he was sleeping 5 hours stretches by 3 weeks old and 6 hours by 5 weeks. I go back to work in a week and I don’t know how I’m going to get through the day. I have to be up at 445 to have time to shower, get her fed, get my toddler ready, and get to daycare in time to make it to work on time. Please help!
