Night feeding 9 mo +?

not now i dont but toby - my middle child - fed at night till he was 12 months old. and i'm pretty sure that eden did but only occasionaly at 9 mths.

Me too!

Nearly 10 months here and I've been feeding nearly every night for the last 4 months. It's only once and can be anywhere between 1am and 6am, but usually around 4am. However..... he has slept through until 7.30am the past two nights so if he wakes tonight I am going to try to resettle him without a feed. I'm not worried either way though as it's only 10 minutes and I'm a terrible sleeper so I'm usually awake anyway!

Same! DS has been waking a couple of times per night quite a lot recently. There's no point in doing anything but feed him when he wakes, as he's clearly hungry and generally settles quickly again after a feed.

His night feeds are a bit all over the place - last night it was just once at about midnight. The night before was 3am. The one before that was 10pm and 2am... On rare, blessed occasions he will sleep right through from 6.45pm to 5am...

I'd definitely recommend a sleeping bag too. Though DS has actually figured out how to get out of his. I need to sew the arm holes up a bit...

my boy still does ........my girl has just started up again .......have you tried more solids? teething also does it.........my girl is sick so wakes and also refuses solids and i know she is way hungry........with both kids waking ill be lucky if i get 2 hrs straight a night

Hmmm I wondered about the solids thing as for a chubba bubba, she doesn't really eat that much! Weight must come from my boobies lol

Today I've made a concerted effort to give Clodagh her meals and snacks earlier than usual adn we'll be trying a much earlier bedtime...I'll try adn have her in bed by 6 cos she is super whiney and grizzly by then and I think she's tired. Nothing ventured and all that!

And yeah I tried the sleeping bag thing...she doesn't like them at all AND has figured out how to unzip them, undome them and unvelcro them lol  I might rename her Houdini.

K's totally FF now and still wakes up for one feed during the night, she goes down at 7 and wakes up between 1 and 4. If i dont feed her she will keep waking up so am sticking with it for the moment

At that age my boy was definitely feeding at night - I can't remember how often, but I think it would have been twice a night. By the time he was 18 months old he'd stopped asking for feeds at night (though he still woke up sometimes for other reasons).

Emmecat Aston is exactly the same. Wakes a few times in the night, once for hunger I think, and then we have the horride period between 430-630am where he wakes and whines and whinges out of habit I think. He will only go back to sleep for 20 min before waking again at that time of morning.

Also have the issue with blankets. He has sleep bags, which are ok, but he rolls so much they get wound up, and he doesnt like them much. Still he sometimes sleeps better in them I think because of the cold. Hates me putting normal covers over him if he's not in his sleep bag.

At the moment he is waking almost every hour, although I'm hoping thats a teething thing, but it's not uncommon for us to have 4-5 wakes a night. Like SBM I co-sleep so it could be more or less in my dream state (not that it feels like I have had any sleep of late)

If you find a solution to the blanket hating I'd love to know!

If she wakes - we too feed her. 90% of the time she will wake 45 minutes after going down at night - suck back 100mls (HUGE feed for her) and staight back to sleep. But is she wakes again - we still feed her.

 

Do whatever makes you comfortable - as someone else said - did you ever hear of a uni kid still waking for a bottle in the middle of the night?
