Would an 8oz bottle at 7pm keep 9 month old going until the morning

[19annie86]

Used to give then 8 month old 6oz bottle at 7pm she would go to sleep then dream feed 6oz at 10pm, just wondering she now 9 months, would an 8oz bottle instead of 6oz keep her going to the morning and drop the dream feed

Depends on what she's having through the day as well, not just the last bottle at night. If you're asking can 9 months old go overnight without being fed - yes if their daytime intake is adequate. Most can manage this from 6 months physiologically.

Completely depends on the baby IME, but none of my three have dropped night feeds until they were much older. They were breastfed, I don't know if it's different as an element of comfort there too, but they were definitely taking full swallowing/gulping feeds, not just latching for comfort.

Surely physiology is going to depend on how deeply they sleep? As well as overall intake during day etc. I know if I'm asleep, then I don't get hungry overnight but if I stay up then I will get hungry around 1/2am. And if I've eaten poorly the day before then I might even wake up in the early hours of the night hungry.

I suppose what I'm asking is 7pm too early for last feed of the day

It's definitely not to early so long as they are eating enough in the day... and I'm sure if they wasn't they would wake you.

My bottle fed baby didn't give up the last night feed until we watered it down at 15m (and regretted it massively!)

At 9m, we had a 7ish bottle, a 11pm dream feed, a 3am bottle and then sometimes another 5ish.

A baby may physically be able to manage a very long stretch without food or drink, but it doesn't mean they will necessarily want to, or be happy to.

Tbh, it's probably worth giving it try skipping the dream, and either it'll work or it won't.

She just moved into her own room and sometimes wakes around 10pm, but I think she would go back to sleep without dream feed, but afraid to chance it incase she just dozes over for maybe another 30 min or so then needs the dream feed

How much of their dream feed are they having? If it's all of it I would say potentially no but it's about total intake over the day rather than just the last bottle.

Is it possible for a baby to sleep through at that age? Yes. Both mine were by then and never had a bottle over 7oz and last one was 6:30/7pm. But aware that I am very lucky and not the norm!

One of mine would have been fine, the other one woke up regardless of how much she'd eaten.

Depends totally on the child. One of mine has just stopped waking and looking for milk and she is three so really no magic answer

If I took the bottle away from her mouth she would be happy enough with a few oz, but if I didn't she would happily take whole bottle

My 8.5 month old has her last feed at 6pm, 8oz and that's it until 7am the next day. I'd give it a go OP, like others have said, it will either work or it won't. Try upping daytime calories too.

DD1 dropped her night feed around 9 or 10 months. She was on three 8oz bottles plus eating well in the day.

Not at all. Mine had dropped all night feeds by 5 months maybe (formula fed). She dropped them 1 by 1 - just stopped waking for her 11pm, then stopped waking for 2pm, and eventually stopped her 5am. Coincided with her upping her intake during the day so she was never having any less overall. Was never on more than 7oz bottles.

Depends on baby though. They are all different but if her last one is 7pm and she's not waking for feeds, it's probably coz she's fine without it.
