Night feeding and schedule for 6 month old

3 replies

My dd is 6.5 months old and she is formula fed. For the past month she is waking every night at 2:30 for feeds and wondered if that is normal for her age. She used to sleep until 5/6am but that has stopped now. Even in the day the most she’ll nap all day is 1 hour over two naps. Sometimes she only has 1 nap for 30mins only. I started weaning 3 weeks ago and she has a small amount of puréed fruit for breakfast and puréed veg for lunch. I wondered what other mums managed milk feeds and solids and what time you have given it. Dd usually has milk at 2:30 and I did give breakfast at 8 but now trying milk at 8 and breakfast and 9:30. Lunch is around 12:30/12. She then naps for 30mins and milk again at 2/3 and then at 5:30/6 and bed at 7. Dd gets too tired so isn’t able to sleep later. Any advice would be appreciated or some ideas on timings for milk and feeds. Thanks.

Yes that’s perfectly normal. Sleeping for 10-11 hours straight is what’s unusual.

Thanks Jennifer. That’s reassuring to know.

My LO is 9 months old and can still want a feed at 11pm and 3/4am. Good nights she'll just wake for the 3am one.
I try not to worry too much about how often she wants fed through the night as I think it'll sort itself out in time
