Dropping night feed

At 10 months I used the comfort/soothing ladder to stop feeding to or back to sleep. You try other ways of settling them first, waiting 15-30 seconds to see if they work. If not you move to be next. Last step being feed.

At around 3 months for use but im pretty lucky that she's always been a pretty good sleeper she started skipping some feeds and occasionally sleeping through herself. So we just tried to settle her and see if she would go back down without it. She also has a dummy so sometimes even just putting that in was enough, then bum pats, then pick up and rock for a minute ect. Or if she was awake but not crying id just leave her for a minute and she'd go back to sleep, I only picked her up if she was upset and oonly feed in the night when nothing else works first. I usually give myself a 10ish minute window to try get her back down before feeding if she wakes now at 7.5 months unless she's super upset and clearly looking for that

My 6 month old has dropped her night feed now and self settles back to sleep (generally) if woken. But they get regressions so might not last and will come and go.

I’ll be waiting until my son drops night feeds on his own.

About 11 months , I stopped breastfeeding then (I was done, and he was mainly latching/unlatching a lot) so we did formula first thing in the morning and before bed and just did other comfort instead of milk in the night.

@Robyn did you sleep train to get her to self settle back to sleep?

Ermmmm sort of, but also not really. We used huckleberry app and tracked wake Windows, I paid for the premium version so I could get advice on sleep and best way to support her with it. I have always allowed her opportunity to sleep on her own, so like if she's just chilling in her crib quietly, I just leave her (monitored) Some naps she literally looks around for 30 mins before going to sleep but I don't let her full cry on ever but I will let her winge a bit and go in and shhh and pat her so she chills out again. Baiscally as much as poss I gave her opportunities to learn to settle and she has thankfully but honestly it really depends on your baby, some babies won't even be put down so I know its not always so easy to do. I do recommend the huckleberry app paid version though a sleep specialist will draw you up a plan. Its like £13 a month but you could just pay for the 1 month and get the plan.

Btw I did this with day time sleep and then night time sleep just sorted itself out baiscally. She now wakes up a bit and then goes back to sleep after a minute or so, generally.

My little boy dropped it on his own. He just started waking later and later and now sleeps through the night from 7-6 give or take
