Suddenly waking up and eating again?

Anyone else’s almost 7mo suddenly start waking up a few times a night to eat again?
My baby was sleeping through the night since 4 months, but ever since he learned how to roll last month he has been waking up 2 or more times a night and usually needs to be fed at least once to go back to sleep. It’s always exactly at 3:30am too, he won’t go back to sleep unless I feed him. What can be causing it? I know he doesn’t need to eat cause he was never eating before but he won’t sleep unless I feed him 😭 I’m tiredddd

As for my research sometimes this is due to a growth spurt so sleep regression occurs as well. It should be over in 2 weeks max. Hope this helped

I thought so too but it’s been happening since the second week of august

Yep 🤦‍♀️ my son wakes ups between 11:30-12:30 every night now.

Every baby is different and they are listening to their hunger cues especially when they are moving more and working out all day. I know it’s tiring and difficult but baby is trying his best too! If worried deff call pediatrician but this sounds normal behavior to me 🥰

Also depends what time you put him to bed and ounces fed before bed as well. My baby does the same 3:30 wake up time lol but he goes to bed at 7pm so he had already slept 8 hrs straight.

If my baby is exhausted and only drinks 4 oz before bed he will wake up at 12 for food but when he drinks 6+ as usual it’s a full 8 hr then he sleeps 2 or 3 more hrs & wakes up at 6am

Totally normal for baby to need a night feed at this age, especially when growing

The last 3 nights have been brutal…

YES except it’s been 2 months😭 I do not know what to do anymore he wakes up Fr at 11, 1, 3, 5, 6, 8 I feel like I haven’t had sleep in forever lol

My girl was sleeping through the night at 3 months and then 4month regression hit and ever since she’s been back to waking multiple times a night 🙃

Oh yeah🥲
A week ago my baby learned how to push herself to sitting from laying and learned how to pull herself up to stand. Since then she’s been waking up more at night. But my girl also had been sleeping from 8/8:30pm-7am before this so it’s rough😅
I think they just get more restless when they learn new skills. Or it could be that and a growth spurt?🤷‍♀️
Hopefully it gets better soon🤍

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism
