I just follow my regular schedule and feed him when he's hungry, put him down for his long nap with the rest of the kids (my recharge time), etc. It's always worked for me.
She messaged me earlier telling me to feed him a bottle at X time before he goes down at X time. He's already finished that bottle (1.5 hours earlier than she told me to) and I had to keep dcb from sleeping before feeding it to him, so he will be sleeping earlier than she said.
Is it rude to just ignore her demands? Should I respond next time she does it?
The first thing I let new parents know about my program, is that infants (0-12mo), eat and sleep on their own schedule...and after 12mos, they are on the group schedule (mine)
