8 week old sleeping

My soon to be 8 week old (7 weeks 5 days) has always woken up between 3 and 4 for a feed after having his last feed at around 10:30-11:00. He’s only taking 2oz (usually takes 6oz every other feed) when he’s waking between 3/4 and generally goes straight back down once’s he’s been winded until 7am. I’m wondering how I can’t start to phase out this feed as I don’t think he completely needs it and it would be amazing to get a full nights sleep(!!!).

How often was your 8 week old waking and is it possible to phase out this feed or do I need to just wait for him to be ready? Very tired FTM -,-

OP ignore people being snipey, having a baby is tiring and waking in the night is tiring. Just because most babies wake more, it doesn't mean you're not tired.

I recommend baby groups as a good way to suss out what the normal range of these things is and make new pals, find support and solutions to problems. Just don't go in saying you've got it bad because you have one night waking. Smile

Hi. 1st time mum with 8 week old here. I REALLY need help, need to know others' experience please.

How much is your 8-10 week old sleeping?
Mine sleeps upto 20 hrs in the total 24!
How do I know if this is normal?

(My bub is a low weight baby born at 37 weeks gestation. He is very gradually catching up with the weight. He has always been a sleepy one, I expected it to phase out but he is still the same,rather more sleepy!)
