11 month still feeding at night

[TillyScoutsmum]

My 11 month dd is on 3 solid meals per day, plus 20 oz of formula (hungry baby) but still wakes in the night for another bottle.

She wakes at 10.45 (almost to the minute every night) and I can get her back to sleep by cuddling/stroking etc., but she wakes up every half an hour until I feed her. I am being told (by hv, dp, mum etc) that she "shouldn't" be hungry in the night but she'll drain a 7 oz bottle and then go straight back to sleep so surely she's hungry - right ??!

Does anyone have any suggestions ? Are there any reasons why I shouldn't be feeding her in the night ? Presumably she'll grow out of it soon enough ...?

Anyone ?

i still feed my 11mo but he doesn't tend to wake until the early hours of the morning.
If you feed her at 10.45 does she then sleep through? If so my opinion would be anything for an easy life! It's not a huge problem, I'm sure lots of 11mos sleep through but I don't necessarily think they 'should'!

It depends on whether it bothers you to feed her at night or not.If it doesn't bother you then don't worry about what other people say,if it does then stop doing it.
It will take a bit of effort as you will have to train her not to wake for a feed by not giving her anything when she wakes.At the end of the day it's up to you.

Most of the time she'll sleep through until about 5 ish after her feed. It then takes about 10 minutes to get her back off and she'll sleep again til 8 ish. Sometimes (like last night), she'll wake up every 2 hours [bloody knackered emotion]

Feeding her doesn't really bother me I suppose, I just worry she'll keep doing it and obviously, it'd be nice to get an unbroken nights sleep at some point .

She's also over 99th centile for weight and I worry I'm overfeeding her

I might reintroduce the dream feed at around 10.30 and see if that helps. I just worry then that she'll wake up later and won't want any milk and I won't be able to get her back off to sleep...

F*ck me - when did I become so neurotic ?!

I think it is probably a habit, but if she is used to this feed, then she won't be able to just stop as she will feel hungry. Did you stop the dreamfeed suddenly?

What i recommend is reducing the feed by an oz every few days and also bring it forward by half an hour. I did this with DS (when he was 7mo) and by the time i brought it forward to 9pm, he only took an oz so i decided to stop. This way they take a bit more on in the day and should get used to it. Good luck with whatever you decide.
