From an early age Cooper has shown to us that he likes his bed time to be between 6.00 pm and 6.30 pm. If he goes to sleep at this time he won't wake until 5.00 am for a feed.

Cooper is an early waker and usually has 5-6 breastfeeds per day (he sometimes wakes in the night around 3.00 am for a feed otherwise he is starting to sleep through to 5.00 quite regularly). His feeds range anywhere from every 2.5 hours to every 4 hours.

Even if he has a feed at 4.30 pm, I will always do his bath between 5.30 pm and 6.00 pm and then a final feed at 6.00 pm. I then read him a story and he goes straight to bed.
