By day seven, you will probably be feeding only once during the night, five hours or more after your child first falls asleep. If your child is young and you want to continue one feeding at night, you can stop here. Otherwise you can stop all nighttime feedings the next night. If you are nursing, and the remaining feeding seems to be a substantial one, or if you are bottle-feeding and have not made the feedings smaller, you can also choose to continue moving that last feeding further away from bedtime, an extra thirty minutes a night, until it moves out of the nighttime altogether.
