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 😭

@Adele 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
