Do whatever works for you, there’s no right or wrong. I usually try and do a feed before bed if I can, just think it helps him get a bit sleepy 😴 xx

We started doing the feed before the bath because we read that if they regularly fall asleep on the bottle then they’ll start to need that ‘habit’ to fall asleep again if they wake up in the night. Since swapping it round he’s definitely started getting himself to sleep and we have less night wakings! It’s worked much better for us xx

We just started doing feed before bath/book bedtime routine, in an attempt to break feeding to sleep association, and it’s working pretty well for us so far!

We do bath/ feed/ bed but don’t put into sleep suit until after feed to keep her awake to avoid feed to sleep association. We do feed earlier in the wake window but she always wants more just before bed and is still only on 5oz at almost 7 months so I let her have the extra 4oz after bath.

Feed whenever he wants — feed in the bath, feed when putting him to bed, feeding on demand 😘

I do a bottle then a bath. Only because I give him a bottle downstairs before going up to bed. And I do this because I’m worried I’m going to get him into the habit of needing milk to fall asleep like my eldest did. So our routine is, bottle downstairs, upstairs to the bath where they both bath together and then 2 year old into bed and then 6m old into bed x

We do a big bowl of porridge, bath, bottle and bed xx

We don’t to bath every night , 2-3 times a week after we’ve taken her brother to school. So on nighttime I take her up, give bottle, get into pyjamas and into bed
