15 month old still waking for feeds

[Sunnyday14558]

My breastfed 15 month old is still routinely waking for feeds at midnight and 3am. He goes to bed at 7 and wakes around 6.

He’s next door with his older sibling (who sleeps solidly) so I go to him and feed him when he cries/wakes.

He had health problems at birth (lots of antibiotics etc) so I’d like to keep up the BF as long as he wants it. Having said that, I’m utterly exhausted. I had hoped he’d sleep through by now, like his sibling did, but I’m increasingly unsure whether this is going to happen!

Does anyone have a similar experience to this? Are there any ways to get him to sleep for longer stretches without causing him to cry at night?

Hi OP, I have three DC and one of them slept through "naturally" without any intervention from me while the other two needed some help! Have you tried not feeding and offering a dummy or water instead? That's the first step I think, if you don't want to try sleep training.

No advice, but I have a 14 month old (15 months next week) and he still wakes a few times a night. At least once but up to 3 times between 7-10pm and then at least twice between 10pm and 7am. It's so tiring. I would struggle a lot more of he was in another room.

DD, who is now 8, have up breastmilk at 15 months on her own. I can't even imagine DS doing that this month.

So no advice, just solidarity.

My 13 month old wakes 2-4 times a night wanting milk. She’s barely awake but gets very mad if offered anything else, and if I feed her goes straight back to sleep.

We cosleep so it’s not too tiring, but I do hope she’ll give it up on her own at some point. I don’t want to sleep train.

For context she refused the breast from 6 months, and I quit pumping at 10 months so she now drinks formula.

It might be time to try some gentle night weaning?

Heyy, I don’t have any advice but my 13 month (almost 14) still wakes regularly in the night to breastfeed, I wish she would only wake up Twice! 🙈 just know you’re not alone 😊 i plan to just naturally wean her whenever she is ready although it is so exhausting isn’t it!
