Overnight feeds

Has anyone’s babies started waking for a bottle overnight? We haven’t had to feed him overnight for months but suddenly he’s waking at 2am needing milk. He’s eating well in the day (3 bottles + 3 meals) but now he’s having milk at 2am and not wanting a bottle when he wakes up.

We had the same! Although she definitely still wants when she’s waking up in the morning 😅 I’ve started adding an extra snack or two in the day too. Last night she slept through although it might be a fluke.

Yep same here! Very normal around this age lovely. We've started wanting food before milk after like maybe 50-90ml of milk. But she polished off 240ml in her sleep last night (woke 3 times for it, particularly bad night for her). She's not overly big on solids but she's dropped a bottle in the day so I get that she's seeking it for all the reasons at night still xx

Thank you! He’s eating a lot of solids (3 meals a day plus snacks) and is still having his milk, just feels like he’s doing it out of habit. Hopefully it’s just a phase and he’ll go back to having his morning bottle as normal 🤞🏼

Yes. It’s like he’s needing more milk.

Have you tried offering water before the milk in the night? It could be thirst rather than hunger maybe

no, I haven’t tried that but such a good idea. Thank you!
