Breastfeeding - Night

My daughter is 7 weeks on Friday and is now going near ish 6 hours from her last feed before bed. She fed about 9.30 last night and feeding her now. She's shortened her night feed to something around the 8-10 min feed. Then I expect to be awake with her again between 6 and 6.30am

My little girl is 8 weeks today and I’d say on average she feeds every 2/3 hours! She feeds for around 10 mins, then needs burping and sometimes changing!

Feel so sleepy 😴. The hours I can sleep aren’t bad but because it’s broken sleep is feel exhausted 😩

My son feeds anywhere between every 2 and 5 hours; last feed is between 10 and midnight but he wakes any time between 2 and 5. The 5 hour stretches seem to be becoming more frequent. Feeds last between 5 and 30 minutes. He’s 9 weeks.

We go down anywhere between 930-11pm he will feed usually 15-20 mins then sleep for 4 hours then has shorter sleep inbetween after that. Also feeling shattered 😫

My boy last fed at 11pm for 20 minutes and I’ve just done feeding him again now. He tends to go 4-5 hours in the night but feeds every 2-3 hours in the daytime x

Normally get a 4/5 hour stretch after her last night feed around 11ish. Up for about half hour to 40 mins feeding, quick change then she’ll be up in about 3/4 hours for next one.

She has started doing a proper feed during the night, before it was a quick 5 mins and she would be up again in an hour!

Wow all these mums have it sussed 😂 my daughter is awake every 2 hours for feeding. She’s 8 weeks. We co sleep to make it a bit easier. Im not too stressed about it as I know it’s really very normal for breastfed babies to wake like this. The first stretch of the night will become longer eventually, my first was the very same! With my first we co slept + fed every 2 hours until about 4 months old then it all began to stretch out and she started going in the next to me!

this is reassuring to read, thank you! My ebf wee one is 8 weeks tomorrow and we're still up every 2hrs at least (and he's not keen on going in the next to me)!

Go with the flow girl. Don’t stress about the next to me, I remember being in such a heap about my daughter not going in it and only wanting to be in our bed. We co slept when she wanted and eventually she started going in it here and there. She’s 19 months now and sleeps 12 hours solid in her own room in her own cot. And as for feeding, breastfed babies are very much expected to wake frequently overnight for feeding. You’re not doing anything wrong and there’s nothing wrong with your baby (I remember thinking this often). Do what works for you, baby will settle into a better routine when they are a little older xxx

Every 2 maybe 1 3 hr stretch at night! Clusyer feeds begore bed sometimes 30mins each boob, or longer! Then short 5/10 min feeds throughout the night, but usually in sidlying in cot!
