**3:30-4:30 PM- Wake, Feed, Play

***6:00-6:30 PM- Solids, Play

8:00 PM- Feed, Down for the night

Notice 3 changes on this schedule:

*His afternoon nap got later in the day, this was mainly due to my son waking up later from his morning nap, and him wanting to stay up longer as he got older.

**His afternoon wake time got later, putting his 3rd feeding later in the afternoon.

***No catnap, it just goes straight to solids.

Remember you're going to know what will be best for your baby, it will flow naturally, anytime I feel like I don't know what I'm doing, I usually google it, or ask other moms who've experienced it before. It usually helps.

At about 5 1/2 months I switched to 4 feedings. I started to notice that my son was getting really fussy while eating, I decided it might be because he was eating too often and getting enough milk throughout the day. Switching to four feedings a day really helped this problem

*I had a peculiar situation with this transition from catnap to no catnap. I started coaching volleyball and practices would usually run from 3:30 to around 5:30-6:00. My son would come with me to the gym, and when he would get fussy, I would wrap him on me and would continue coaching. When practice ended he would wake up and we would go home, where I would then cook dinner and he would either play or sit in his high chair with finger food snacks.

**During this feed you can either bottle feed/nurse or you can do solid food. As you are transitioning from 5 to the 4 feedings, you may want to nurse for a little bit here. My son LOVED solids, so it was easy to eliminate that feeding.

As I mentioned before, I started coaching volleyball and game days turned out to be long. So, I would send my husband with a bottle and some solids for my son. My son would nap on my husband (by being wrapped) and then would wake up, he would sometimes take the bottle, but would usually always take the solid food. Eventually, I just stopped nursing him.

When volleyball season was over I would try to get my son to take a catnap and sometimes he would, sometimes he wouldn't, but it was always worth a try.
