My bub is 8.5 months old and he still doesn't sleep through the night. He always wakes between 10.30pm and 12.30am for a feed and then around 3 to 4 hours later and another 3 to 4 hours later after that. My hubby and I are not morning people so anytime before 7am is still considered a night waking and so I will often feed him between 5.30 and 6.30am and put him back to bed. I am fully breast feeding and I am also following the baby-led weaning concept with a bit of spoon feeding as well (weetabix and yogurt for example). On of my fellow mum's thinks he is probably waking because he is hungry because of the BLW method. All the websites indicate that a baby of his age should no longer be waking from hunger but perhaps this is because many babies are spoon-fed. I want to try to cut out the feed between 2 and 4 am but I'm worried I will starve my bub...has anyone else doing BLW had this problem?
