Nighttime feeds

My little boy is teething also and has 2 meals a day, he used to sleep though the night without waking up but now wakes 1-2 times in the night for a bottle!x

My boy isn’t teething yet, but he was drinking full 7oz bottles 3x a night - so we’ve reduced his overnight feeds so he’s down to 2x 3oz bottles overnight, soon one! He’s slept so much better too!!

That may all change when teething starts🤣

We’ve got two teeth (had them for about a month now) and since we’ve gone back to 2-3 night feeds and no signs of that changing any time soon 😭

Did it take him longer to settle after he had less? x

My daughter is teething tooth number 5 seems to be coming out now too. I give her baby porridge an hour before bed then a bottle 6oz and paracetamol. Seems to have worked. Still wakes up but doesn’t need a feed just dummy and a Little Rock. Takes me an hour sometimes but better than the random wakes.

My daughter has 3 meals and a snack a day, 5 milk feeds, and then 2-5 night feeds depending on how often she wakes up! In contrast, my eldest dropped milk when I started weaning it was such a struggle to give her it and was already sleeping through … their birth weights were 1oz different and their 7 month weights 4oz different … as much as there’s guidelines and national averages, every baby is so different xx

Thanks girls glad I’m not the only one! Xx

surprisingly no! He’d just got in a habit of taking the bottle instead of soothing back to sleep. It took a couple of cries and just rocking him back to sleep without a bottle so we kept the 4 hour gap between bottles but he did it! Xx

Yeah same , stopped at 6 months. I found when he didn't eat at night he was eating more in the day initially. They soon get the hang of it and learn not to rely on milk at night
