6 month night feeds and sleep

I've never heard such things. She must have been confused with a 1 year old surely. I would not be listening to her.

Absolute rubbish, my 6 month old still feeds in the night and naps 4 times a day, they’re babies you’re not rewarding them for anything. You know your baby do what’s right for them x

I couldn’t believe what she was saying. My daughter would be so overtired to the point where it would take me hours to get her to sleep if she only had one nap a day🙈 normally she naps 3 times a day but she’s already on her 3rd nap as she was tired and rubbing her eyes and she’s gone down amazing!I’m defo not going to keep her up and make her have 1 nap🙈😂 Also I would feel terrible giving her water in the night if she woke up hungry.

Honestly I would be putting in a complaint as that is all kinds of wrong!

Your HV is chatting shit. SOME babies wean night feeds at 6 months, others not till later, your baby knows when they need to eat, they might be having growth spurts etc. and 1 nap a day?! Again your baby knows when they’re tired, just follow your babies ques don’t listen to outdated views from people who haven’t raised kids for 40 years. My 6m old still has one feed a night and naps 3 times a day, and I won’t be changing anything unless he naturally does it himself! X

This is a load of rubbish. Totally contradicts NHS guidance. Baby's do what they do. If she wakes up for a feed, feed her. If she needs to sleep let her sleep. They rabbit on about responsive parenting and then give rubbish advice like what they've told you. Ignore it. You know better

That’s the biggest load of dangerous rubbish I’ve ever heard. Please report her.
It’s completely normal for a 6 month old baby to wake in the night for feeds. You can’t replace feeds with water.
Rewarding her for waking up 🤦🏼‍♀️
1 nap a day ?? 3 is normal.
Completely ignore her. Follow babies lead, when she’s ready to drop feeds she will

Honestly what is the point of health visitors? They have no knowledge, I was meant to be signed up for some courses, never happened! As much as I hate to Google stuff, I find more information from Google than Health Visitor 🙈

My brief interaction with a few HV's after baby's birth cemented my theory that there are only a handful of braincells between them and if their mouth's open it's letting out bollocks. I rang my HV centre to advise them the one who came to my house was useless and they agreed with me in not so many words!

Just ignore that woman and carry on with your instincts mama 😄

My LO doesn’t feed through the night (her choice) and still has 5 naps a day. Sounds like bullshit to me

They are supposed to just now be consolidating to 3 naps and is even normal for babies to keep having 4. And most babies still need a feed overnight (mine still has 3 overnight at 5.5 😕). I don't understand why in the UK we have that HV figure rather than pediatricians at the GP level

My daughter doesn’t feed in the night but she has around 3 naps a day! I didn’t even know they did 6 months review we didn’t have one x

That’s absolutely stupid! My 5.5 month old twins wake once in the night for a feed and nap 3-4 times a day! If they’re getting tired I put them down for a nap. I’m not going to force them awake🙄

You got 6 month review?! I got told it’s at 9 months 😂

Anyway in agreement with everyone! Chatting absolute shit! I went to a couple HV’s a few days back for weight check and I spoke to them about my little boys feeding and they never said anything about dropping any bottles even though he’s been weaning for 2 weeks I was told to continue his feeds on demand when he wants them & I explained he has 2 naps a day sometimes 3 and they was absolutely happy that he was in wake windows more.. I don’t understand why she would say that it should be just the 1 nap as I find nothing makes a difference I just follow littles lead and feed and sooth to nap when he’s ready I would definitely not be able to keep him up and let him have just 1 nap! Jesus 😂

As for giving water over night makes to be a ‘reward’ I’m sorry but what ? 😂 either way it’s a drink be it water or milk so surly water is also a reward because your still feeding them 😂 so it’s a bit of a confusing statement to make 🤦🏼‍♀️

I didnt have a review with my LG (now 3.5yrs) until just before 12m.
But agree with the comments above, total nonsense!
They 'should be having 2/3 naps' at this stage although every baby is different. My LB almost 6m usually has around 4/5 as he cat naps 30-45mins and has wake windows of anywhere from 1.5-3hrs 🤷‍♀️ my LG didn't drop to 1 nap until around 14/15m.
My LB is BF and we feed on demand. If he wakes he gets milk. They are just babies, they know better than anyone what they need!
I would say at this stage definitely follow babies ques

She needs to go back to school and educate herself better 😂🤦‍♀️ i trust google more than her 😂🤦‍♀️

My little one is still waking at night for a bottle and will take anywhere from just 2oz to 7 oz 🤷‍♀️ she'll be 7 months in 2 weeks and naps usually twice a day sometimes 3 times a day! I haven't had my 6 month visit yet so I'm not sure what I'll be told xxx

My LO still wakes up for a feed in the night and I mentioned the napping situation to my HV as I’d seen so many posts about how often others babies nap for and when they nap etc. I told my HV that I follow my LO’s lead and allow him to nap when he wants and however long he wants to nap for. I said he still sleeps well at night. She said it’s perfect and that each baby is different. I don’t understand how your HV can tell you that you shouldn’t be feeding your LO at night

Wouldn’t want to imagine how crabby my daughter would be on one nap a day 🤦🏻‍♀️

Completely agree with others! My LG is 6.5 months and has 3 naps, 2 at 1 hour and 1 30 mins a day and also still has 1 night feed around 4am. I also didn't have a HV review at this time. I don't really listen to the HV anymore as I've had so much contradiction since she's been born. I just let her tell me what she wants
