When did you drop the ‘night feed’?

By night feed I mean anything between midnight and the early hours up to 5am.

Really struggling with 3 month old who will not resettle after feeding at this time. I think I’m just looking for light at the end of the tunnel (if there is any). My eldest never woke to be fed at this time we always had to dream feed her. I’m shattered.

Dd gave hers up around 6 months. Ds was 8 months after me actively reducing the amount in the night feed. I waited until 6 months before reducing the feed as I feel that up until that age they may still need the feed.

@dementedpixie was that formula? Or Bf? Thanks x

It was formula. Are you breastfeeding/formula feeding?

I had a surprise success with DD recently at 8 months. Went in for her 12:30 wake up and only did a nappy change, got away with it, now she's mostly going through till 5 and then another 40 mins after.

She was doing 13 hours at 3 months but regressed.

I never did, my baby gave up wanting to be fed in the night. Three months does seem a bit early though.

11 weeks but that's when he started sleeping through 😬. I'm aware that's very lucky though...

@MrFlibblesEyes that was how my first was! It was never a conscious choice just kind of happened

When they stopped waking to be fed. First at 6 months second at 8 months. If your 3 month old is only waking once that sounds amazing. You are really lucky.
