EBF babies aged 16 weeks or thereabouts... how are they sleeping?

[BrownBirdsFly]

Hi all.

My EBF little boy is 16 weeks and is currently going to bed at 7, then feeding about every 3.5 ish hours through the night. So a feed at 10.30, 1.30-2ish and then 4.30am or thereabouts.

My daughter (now 3) was a TERRIBLE sleeper and I barely slept for the first 3 years of her life, she woke as frequently as 3 times an hour well into her second year.

So I guess I’m asking those mums with a baby of a similar age to my little boy, who are exclusively breast fed, is my little boys pattern similar to your baby?! I’m hopeful he’ll be a better sleeper and these wake ups are pretty standard!

Thanks x

That was better than DS was doing at that age (and to be honest ever until he was night weaned). I was BF every 2 hours round the clock pretty much but as he was done in 10 mins, not as bad as it sounds really

At 2 and a half, he wakes once or twice most nights. OCcasionally sleeps through
