How to stop night feeds

My baby is 9mo and still wakes up every 2/3 hours for a feed and will also have 3 meals a day. My first slept through from a couple months old, every baby is different and does things at their own pace, I definitely wouldn’t say baby is too old to be wanting a feed in the night, they’re still a baby after all x

Mine does the same thing! My oldest slept through the night at 5 months… this one is up at least once sometimes two or three times. He wants a butt changes and milk. All kids are different but I am with you, I am exhausted 😂

My little boy is 8 months and wakes up every 2 hours for a feed n also eats 3 meals a day, if you want to stop for you sake you could but I definitely wouldn't force it, they're still very little 🥰x

My little girl is 8 months and wakes 2-3 times over night for milk, she eats 3 meals a day, all two course meals & reasonable portions. She’s my first baby and she started sleeping all night around 4 months only to then start waking again around 6 months for a feed. I was advised by family members that she “shouldn’t need night feeds” now that she is eating solids during the day. I attempted to settle her over night in other ways and nothing worked, she just became more and more unsettled & I became more exhausted. My natural instinct was to feed her and ignore other advice, so I did and she settled straight back down after a feed. She still wakes up 2-3 times and yes I’m exhausted and would love to sleep all night but what’s the rush for her not to feed over night? I think as mums we can sometimes focus on time frames and expectations too much rather than following our maternal instinct and accepting that each baby is different. Feel you on being exhausted though. 🫶🏼

None of mine slept through the night before a year old. 🤷‍♀️

Its developmentally normal for babies under 1 to wake for milk they still get hungry in the night

My little guy is 8 months as well, wakes 1-3 times at night and I still do 1 bottle at night. I only do 4oz so it’s not too much and it puts him right back to sleep so I will continue to do it. I mean I drink so much water at night who am I to tell him he’s not hungry/thirsty lol.

I've read if baby gets up earlier than desired. Treat it like a night wake up and encourage back to sleep.
