Frequent night waking and weaning

If I remember rightly, around 9 months they go through separation anxiety so it may not be food related and actually comfort/to be close to you related

I had similar but baby girl is 50th centile. If your baby is still getting a significant amount of calories through the night, he won’t be taking as much in the day if that makes sense. He’s at the age now where he could go longer than a few hours. We had this and just needed to break the cycle and help our little girl learn to self settle, rather than rely on bf back to sleep. We did it really gently and gradually weaned her off the first feed. So anything before midnight, I did the sleep training instead. I didn’t really have to do it much. Once occasion really helped.

My little girl has 3 meals and has done for a few weeks now and I do think this has helped her. She wakes once or not at all now.

Sleep well with Hannah is who we used. She’s amazing!

I worked with a sleep coach.

hey just jumping on this! We have a lot going on with sleep but now I’m wondering if the separation anxiety is a big one. Any idea on best way to deal with this in terms of sleep? xx

We used to hang my top over his cot so he would smell me and feel close by. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. It was a lot of broken sleep and rough days/nights. But it does pass, which is no consolation when in the thick of it x

Yep mine wakes at least 5 times a night. 4 is a good night. 8 is a bad night. I'm also planning on gentle sleep training but he's been teething on & off for about 6 weeks 😩

Yes, ours is still up 4-5x a night minimum. Our daughter is on 3 meals a day but it’s made no difference 😬
