How old is your baby and how often do they night feed?

[Tmgc123]

As the post says... age of baby, number of night feeds, and breast, bottle, or combi?

My baby is 5.5 months and has gone from a 10pm,1am,3am and 6am feed, to all the bloody time as far as I can tell!

Apparently she should only be feeding once at this age, but from what I can tell that’s not actually the norm!

Would like to know what your little guys do.

10m old EBF, generally 7pm, 11:30pm, 3am, then up between 7-7:30am. Sometimes he wakes around 5am but doesn’t need fed.
However we still have nights when he’s up 5+ times but he doesn’t want milk all those times, usually somethings annoying him like sore gums or wind. Or the creaky bathroom door. Or next door neighbours kids have woken him.
Would love him to cut out the 3am feed but I suppose I’m not up for too long as he settles so quick.

Breastfed 3.5 month old, before hitting this bloody regression was feeding at 7pm, midnight/1am, 3/4am and 7am.

I'm hoping it'll go back to only 2 (or maybe even 1!) night feed once the regression is over but it seems the norm for breastfed babies to feed frequently. Am I being unrealistic to hope for a breastfed baby who starts sleeping through sometime I the first year?! 😱

6 months (corrected, actually 8.5), FF one feed between 7pm-7am as standard but sometimes two. Usually either 1am or 11pm and 4am.

Nearly 5mo, EBF, every bloody hour this past week! On a very good night we'll get an 11pm-4/5am stint of sleep, but either side of that it's pretty constant feeding.

8 months , bottle at 6 (ff) after first 6 months bf. then wakes exactly 12 hours later at 6am. (Believe me I know how lucky I am my first still doesn’t sleep and she’s 3 )

Balancing, just out of curiosity, how well did your baby sleep before switching to formula?

9 Months, BF, usually twice (at the moment...)

DD [EBF until 4.5 months) stopped having a night feed towards the end of 5 months/nearly 6 months.

A huge part of this was I had to go away over night and away from her for around 36 hours when she was nearly 5 months old and we spent the few weeks in the run up to it having DP give her a bottle of formula at night before bed. The few days before I went I slept in the spare room and DP gave her a bottle over night, (she woke for one both nights)

When I came back she had lost interest in night feeds (and breastfeeding too tbh) I persevered for a bit with night time breastfeeding if she woke and bottles during the day but she was pretty much settling immediately with a dummy if she woke in the night so it seemed pointless.

She didn't actually start sleeping through until about 8 months though. She would still wake regularly for comfort or her dummy.

16 weeks. He sleeps through most nights.

4.5 months FF, sleeps through the night (10ish to 8ish in the morning)

Almost 7 months, formula fed. Usually has last feed around 9/10pm and wakes again between 7-8am for morning feed then sleeps again until 9am when we get up for the day.

Generally if she wakes overnight, it's because her dummy has fallen out & she wants it back. I do hear her waking on the baby monitor some nights & babbling to herself for a while then going back to sleep.

Weening has made a difference. Prior to starting solid food, she was having an overnight feed. Perhaps this will help your little one too! Daytime naps aren't as good as her overnight sleeping though!

10 weeks old & down to 1 night feed (FF). I've no idea how or why, I've demand feeded and followed her lead, so must be very lucky. Aware it can all change in an instant so just enjoying it whilst I can.

I have a 11 day old who feeds all day and night. Well, that's certainly how it feels! I'm breastfeeding her.

11 months. EBF. Feeds 8/9pm (my weird baby doesn’t want to feed at bedtime, so wakes an hour or so later for it ) and then 6/7am. So he could be “sleeping through”. Of course he actually wakes about a million times a night, for some unknown reason. Believe me, I’ve tried feeding him!

@lemondrop99 - she has slept through since 8 weeks , it broke a bit at the 4 month sleep regression to one 2am feed but then she dropped that too. I’ve honestly no idea how this happened as it was a very different experience from my first... I remember at a gp apt asking “was my baby ok to sleep this much” as she also naps very well during the day it was that abnormal to me! (Hence why I’m up at 3am with dd1 ). She started off big at 75 centile whereas my first was 6 centile and he said that generally in his experience bigger babies at birth seemed a bit more settled regards to feeding? And as long as weight gain is fine etc which it is then take her lead! My mother had five children and likes to regularly tell me she never had a sleeper like dd2

6.5 months ebf and wakes every 2 hours minimum

Almost 7 months, ebf, feeds every 2 hours minimum usually. At my wits end! We usually co sleep on a bad night

DD is 8 months. At 3 or 4 months I started doing a dream feed at 11pm and she was sleeping through after that until 6 or 7am.

In the past week I've stopped the dream feed. The first three nights she slept 7pm until 5:30m but we're now on night 3 of her waking up at 3ish for a feed. I'm thinking of reinstating the dream feed!

2 week old EBF and has a feed at 9pm when settling for bed then up at 11pm/12am and then 3am/4am for feeds, sometimes if I'm lucky will go back to sleep until 6am/7am but often (like tonight) on the second wake up won't go back to sleep so we get up at 3am

15 weeks. Breastfed. Slept for roughly 7/8 hours since 5 weeks old.

10 months. Bed at 7/730 awake 40 mins later but can shush back to sleep. Then feeds at 12/130 depending, we then cosleep and I've no idea how much she feeds. All bloody night it feels like

5 months, hasn't had a night feed for two months. There is hope

5 months. Breast fed. Baby is unpredictable with his feeds. We bedshare. Some nights he feeds 3 times, others it feels like he's latched on all night. I've stopped checking the time whenever he feeds. I'm much more rested since bedsharing too.

DD2 is almost 17 weeks and EBF. Feeds 8pm, mostly settled in bed by 9/10pm, then has her longest strep of sleep 3-5 hours, then up every 3-1.5 hours.

Last night bedtime feed was 8:30- she was in bed by 9, woke up at 1:30, 4am, 6am then up for the day at 8am. That's a good night, night before she was up every hour after 4!

5.5 months old, EBF. Before Christmas he did a whole month of almost sleeping through but now feeds 3/4 times a night, between 8 and 6/7. I can't sleep past 6 as that's when our 4 yo gets up.

I've never figured out how to not feed to sleep but from what I remember, DD was pretty settled by age 1 and only had the occasional night feed up to night weaning at 18 months.
