Hi everyone, I have been giving my son born March 4 a bath every night before bed around 6:30pm and in bed around 7pm. I normally give him a breast feed around 6. So his current routine is feed, bath then bed. I am doing it this way to avoid him falling asllep on the breast as he has trouble self soothing and often wants to be fed to sleep. But his feed patterns vary from day to day and he may have a feed around 5pm so then of course he does not really want another until 8ish (or later) so I wonder whether it is ok to change the routine on those days so that he has his bath at 630 and his feed after that around 7 or 730pm or will this confuse him? bath, feed then bed. Because even when he feeds at 5ish and then has his bath then bed around 7 he will sleep through his next feed until about 10 or 11,, it's just very confusing for me and for him I guess to keep changing the bedtime/bathtime/feedtime but I am having trouble keeping it consistent, hope that makes sense.. Any pointers appreciated thanks
