My DD is nearly 9 weeks and cluster feeds all evening, refusing to go into anything but a very light doze until she has had every ounce of milk I've got (about 11pm) I know she won't do this forever, and frankly I'm quite enjoying the evenings in front of the telly.... just wondered when I might be able to pop to the pub for a quick half though

mine both stopped between 10 and 12 weeks

My DD sopped about nine weeks, so it shouldn't go on much longer.

She now sleeps all night, but feeds pretty constantly all day, so its swings and roundabouts really!

Thanks. Anyone else?

Ds2 has stopped and started abit tbh. It died down around 12 weeks I think but he is now nearly 20 weeks and it seems to have started again and he's waking in night again but I think this is a growth spurt. Cant remember what the other 2 did

The last couple of months have flown by though. The first 12 weeks were definitely the hardest.

I think it was around 12 weeks, about the same time as she stopped sleeping for 6-7 hours at a time at night and started waking every 2-3...

5m when I was mean and did cc. She was not really feeding anymore but had got used to sucking for hours as a way of falling asleep.

My own fault as I did nothing to deter her earlier.
