Baby wakes after 1 sleep cycle every night

[FlyOnTheWall89]

Recently, my nearly 9 month old BF daughter has been waking up after 45 mins ish of being fed to sleep. She will then either wake up once more, or sleep through.

is the answer as simple as stop feeding to sleep and she will not wake up?

getting slightly infuriated by it as it’s a total gamble if I can go out or not as she is then a bit tricky for my partner to settle. Same with the night wakings, should I just stop feeding her in the night and if so, how long will she cry for before the habit is broken?

Stopping feeding to sleep didn’t make a difference to us, but stopping all night feeds meant he went from waking every 1-2 hours to sleeping through within a week ish. Was a bit older though (11months).

All babies will sleep through eventually (or get only enough that they don’t need your help!). If you want to try to stop feeding to sleep and see if that makes a difference they I think that sounds like a good place to start. Or try resettling without a feed.

@user4578okay interesting. Ye I have a 2yo old as well who is a fab sleeper now and stopping BF completely at 14 months was a big trigger for consistent sleeping through.

did you just cuddle instead of do a feed? I think im going to have to suck it up and try it.

Yes I cuddled, rocked, sang just didn’t feed. I was a bit of a wuss and so did it in 3 nights, not feeding after 5am, then bit after 2am, then not after midnight. I thought he would never well but he did! You’ve got to be ready for it though
