When did your little ones drop their night feed? By that I mean bed time bottle 630-730 and then nothing till the am?

And if anyone has a 6 mo who is formula fed how often and how much and when do u feed?

Thanks!

In the last 2 weeks or so, he turned 1 last Thursday.

My 5 month old will have a bottle about 7:30 then can sleep til 5:30. Some nights he wakes at 2/3am. Each night is different.

With my first, after 9 months she dropped all overnight feeds (though she still woke a couple times a night until she was 3.5). But at 6 months, she was still having probably 7 bottles in 24 hours including 1-2 during the night (by night, I mean waking us up so between 10pm and 5am, when teething she was literally feeding hourly all night). She was down to 4 bottles though by 10 months and 3 by 12 months.

My 6.5month old has 4 bottles in 24 hours. 830-9am,1130am,330pm and 7pm. If he wakes at night we don't feed just shuushh. He drinks 210ml at each feed though sometimes leaves some since weaning started.

13 months but she went to bed much later than that.

Oh and I encouraged the night feed droping. He once slept till 4am missing his 2am feed so I started not giving him a feed if he woke at 2 and tried to shush him till 4 and eventually that stretched out. This all started at around 10 weeks.

Mine is FF. For ages he had 1 bottle a night (ie between 7pm and 6am) but now it’s gone up to 3. I think it’s weaning meaning he’s taking in fewer calories during the day and also having stomach ache at night which wakes him up.

Thanks for the replies.
My lo feeding at night is so variable...Some times he wakes and sometimes doesn’t and any time Between 12-5...and only has 80-100 mls..I’ve tried to pat and ssh him but he keeps crying till he gets the milk. Maybe he just needs a small amount and will naturally drop his feed!
