Porridge before bed

Yes I either give porridge or a cup of milk n it helps

@Beenish I serve dinner around 5 and bedtime is at 7, do you offer porridge around 5 minutes before bedtime?

Guessing it's cos it's very filling I haven't but it's a good option

I've give her it sometimes but if I'm honest it is no different the nights are still the same either way for us anyway

Didn't work for us

YES!!!!!

@Amanda I don't have any porridge in atm but I do have a wheetabix which I will do with some warm milk see how that goes lol

@Leanne my little one has always been a poor sleeper but for about two weeks we had really good sleep then he got 4 teeth at once and now it's all gone to 💩 ill try anything at this point haha

@Kath ah no! I hope your little one is sleeping well now xx

Banana works well for us 😁x

Not 5 mins before bedtime.. May be half n hour before she sleeps but not more than that..

I read a study that I wish I could find but group A was giving solids before bed and group B was not given anything besides milk and they saw no significance in sleeping through the night or not sleeping through the night

We do and i do think it works! We try for like an hour before bed

If baby is under 6 months, i wouldn't do it cause possible digestion issues as they grow older. But I've heard that it will help cause it fills their belly longer --- however, you need to make sure that it doesn't fill their belly enough to replace nutrients that they'd have gotten from other food or milk. If they're BF, then their bellies are supposedly also more likely to empty faster than formula-fed
