11 month old suddenly waking in night really need advice please

Hi.
Would really appreciate any advice.
My lo is 11 months and I have recently (a week ago) stopped his mid morn feed. We have had a 3 o clock wake which is unusual. He eventually settled with a small bottle of milk. He woke up yesterday at 4 so again by 4.45 not settled so snall milk and this morn 5. But milk didn't work. He had to be sleep trained as he would wake once a night happierly chatting for ages until he was fed. I had to cut all feeds that was 2 months ago. He woke at 5.30 but my husband and me take it in turns so all ok.
Do you think these random wakings and only been settled by milk is coz i droped mid morning feed. He eats well at all meals. I dunno what to do as i dont want to start feeding again as that was habit but at 3 in morning when he doesn't settle what do u do? I wouldn't offer my 3 year old toast in middle of night. I have been feeling so much better and patient since hes been going through till 5.30. His naps are a bit all over the place as i have a 3 year old so we have to go out. Ideally he has a 1-2 hours at 9ish when waking at 5.30 and then cat naps if out. Please help. What are your schedules. Do you still give a morning mid morning mid afternoon and before bed feed. Should i bring mid morning one back?thanks.

Lots of development around that time. Is he practicing crawling? Teething? My DD has just turned 1. The past month she has been crawling, saying her first words...bum shuffling across floors!! Trying to get into everything and anything... sleep was disrupted for a while.

We nap at around 1pm - but she wakes between 8 and 8.30am. She usually has one wake up before 11pm after bed at 8pm and then no other.

How do you settle her when she wakes at night? Also you still giving formula or breast in day? I think im nervous of him waking at night cos u leave him babbling for ages but he ends up crying until u give bottle. This is a recent thing thats come back as we conqured it

One year sleep regression and leap 7 occur at that time. I’d say it’s a phase and in a few weeks/a month things will be back to normal. Expect the same thing in a year’s time.

SnowWhite26 · 31/07/2019 21:44

Do i feed in night if it settles him?

I would.

SnowWhite26 · 31/07/2019 21:55

Even though he hasnt fed at night for over 2 months? He doesnt cry never has really at night just babbles and eventually moams if no response then crys when cuddled and put down.

I fed mine in the night until he was 19 months. 🤷‍♀️

SnowWhite26 · 31/07/2019 22:05

Every night? Bottle or breast?

I just followed their cues and fed in the night if needed. It was never more than once at this age and they would have the milk and go straight back to sleep, so it was a really brief interruption of my night and far better than staying awake because they wouldn’t settle when they just wanted milk.

I know it doesn’t always feel like it, but the whole baby phase is very short and is over quickly.

SnowWhite26 · 01/08/2019 03:56

But hes been going through why suddenly waking up? He doesnt cry he just chats always has. When he used to wake. He shares a room with hjs sister so i would go straight in and feed so it didnt wake her got in a habit as i think he just didn't no how to settle. Its so hard. I fill him up all day i wana drop a bottle but dunno if this is why its happening

You’ve been given lots of advice that is all along the same lines but you clearly don’t agree with it so I don’t see how continuing to ask is going to benefit you. 🤷🏻‍♀️

SnowWhite26 · 01/08/2019 13:54

Allfourofthem- Forgive me for looking for help from a mothers support network when im clearly tired and want some advice.

My little girl stopped night feeds at 3 months but since she turned 9 months she’s been waking more in the night, just the once and if she ever does we give her a bottle to settle her. Hasn’t created a bad habit and it’s the quickest way for us all to get back to sleep. Just feed her and hopefully she’ll settle a lot quicker

SnowWhite26 · 02/08/2019 22:04

Yeah maybe your right. I get obsesseed by habit x

Two of my three were having night feeds at one, it's very normal.your baby might be thirsty or hungry or awake because it is light and the birds are singing. They can't explain so all you can do is attempt to meet their needs. If they seem to want a bottle I would give it.

Me2you3 · 02/08/2019 22:55

My 14 month old is still waking once every night, hungry for bottle. It's pretty quick just to give her bottle and then back to sleep. Otherwise the alternative is her fully waking up and being upset

SnowWhite26 · 03/08/2019 21:28

Thankyou both so much for your helpful and reassuring help. Its so hard to know what at to do
