Would you wait to feed him?

I would try. You don't want to be up later on feeding him when he decides that he is hungry. I used to do this with the twins...it seemed a little strange, but they would sleep a little longer! GOOD FOR MOMMY AND BABBY! LOL

i think everyone has different vies on this. some people like to keep the same schedule and some people will only feed the baby wants to feed and is hungry. i think you can't force a child to feed if they aren't hungry. i'd say let him be for now. but if it goes on for another hour or so i'd say feed him by then. he might be too busy playing and might forget to eat. but i think it's ok to let him have fun for now.

When my daughter was little- I had her on a schedule- But only you know your son. Will he lose the niceness and become cranky if you try to feed him now? Will feeding him now- stop his crankiness later if he becomes too hungry? I think I’d let him be until he starts to act a bit grumpy- then get it ready right away! And then if he Is still grumpy- the next time you know to feed him earlier-

I am a very schedule oriented person, but if he is finally not cranky~ let him play. He will let you know when he is hungry. Enjoy this time that he is a delight:)

No, this is a good thing! Don't force him to eat if he's not hungry, wait for him to let you know he's ready for food, then get it for him. You could try making a bottle but don't give it to him if he's not asking for it. It's like in the old days when the nurses etc used to make mothers wake their babies to feed but it's now changed so that you only feed on demand - there's no point in trying to feed a baby if he's obviously not hungry. I reckon just have something ready & just let him play until he wants something!

When I first started having children I would feed them by the clock, but the doctor told me not to do this because it promotes obesity. So I changed over to a feed by demand type attitude. It worked great for us, the only downfall I had was the late nights. My children wouldn't sleep through the night for anything. If I remember correctly they were all almost a years old. My last child is different because she doesn't feel hungry. Since she has a feeding tube and can not eat orally we have to feed by the clock. Having done both I personally perfer on demand type feeding.

I was a "she'll let me know" feeder. Still to this day we both hate eating to a clock.

I always let my son tell me when he's hungrey at that age. They will let you know. When they are playing they are also learning. At that age, I tried to wait on my son.
