Lift sleeping baby?

[MyCandidPoster]

Wondering what other parents would do.
4 month old goes to bed every night 7pm has a 7/8oz bottle.. but then wakes around 10 moving and then again looking dummy every hour until around 2/3am when gave another bottle, would you lift sleeping baby around 10.30/11pm and give maybe a 4/5oz top up bottle to help them sleep longer through the night or leave sleeping baby and wait till they wake wanting the bottles.
thanks for your advice

Nope. Never wake a sleeping baby.

Multiple night wakes are natural and normal well into the toddler years. Most 2-3 year olds don’t even sleep through the night.

Managing your expectations around the realities of baby sleep is incredibly important.

Offer a bottle then baby wakes around 10?

ok perfect! Was just wondering what others would do! Don’t mind at all waking up with baby at night was just wondering what would be better for baby :) thanks!

No baby starts moving around 10/11 fussing and usually put dummy in but was wondering would a top up bottle help to sleep through

Only one answer. Try. It is hit and miss with children.

Dreamfeed at 10pm and push the next bottle back a bit maybe?

I don't agree that "multiple night wakes are normal". It's really not.

I looked it up just now, found this :

"Most infants are sleeping through the night at 2 and 3 months, regardless of the criterion used. The most developmentally and socially valid criterion for sleeping through is from 22:00 to 0:600 hours. At 5 months, more than half of infants are sleeping concurrently with their parents."

I think a lot of parents who face this sort of sleep issues want to do well and jump to action the moment their baby stirs instead of letting them settle themselves.

I understand that because I was the same with my first, but the reality is that he and I were both exhausted all the time. When I introduced a more consistant schedule when he was 3mo he very quickly started to sleep through. It was the same with my subsequent two children.

I'm sure some infants truly have awful sleep (colic or other health issues, etc). But most can and do sleep through the night before their first birthday.
