My baby is 5 months old and waking up every 3 hours. Some nights he could do a 4 hour stretch and some he would do just 2. It’s a bit all over the place to be honest. Is it normal for so many wake ups at this age? What is everyone else’s baby doing?

Do you breastfeed or formula ?

We sleep through, we have last bottle of 8oz about 9.30pm and sleep through till 6/7

My girl does maybe a 3/4 hour stretch then is up 2/3 times by 6am after going down between 7/8 most nights. Shes breasted via bottle

Our twins are nearly 7 months old but born 5 weeks early and waking every 2-3 hours. Combi fed x

My daughter is breastfed and wakes maybe 2-3 times but every night is different.. her sleep is so inconsistent during the days

Breastfed and wakes every one to three hours throughout the night. After 3am it's often wakes every 45 mins. Perfectly normal (but not ideal haha)

CMPA formula fed, likes to go 3 hours bottle to bottle.. sometimes get a 3/4 hour stint in the night. You’re not alone 🥱 it’s completely normal!

Very very normal x

My lil one is sleeping through with one wake up (bottle fed) but her brother was bottle fed and he woke up 6 times a night! He was a non sleeper, and she's a sleeper! Perfectly normal depending on the baby your have innate tendancies X

Mine was doing every 2 hour last week then went on to 4 hoursby end of the week. Last night did a full sleep through. Definitely all over the place! Breast fed. X

My 6 month old has a bottle at 11pm then sleeps until 3/4am, has another bottle and stays asleep until about 7am. Think it’s normal!

My daughter wakes loads, I don't even count or track anymore 🤣

My first at this age woke every 30-40 mins for about a month .. my second sleeps about 1-3 hours (3 hours being rare) breastfed. All totally normal. They will sleep eventually

Formula fed sleeps around 8pm to 7am xx

Same my boy is bottle fed 5 months and sleeps at 7pm he is usually up by 11pm and then 1or 2.30 and then 4 am

Mines breast fed, was feeding every 2- 3/4 hrs. More recently doing much longer stretches 8hrs plus with only one wake! Not expecting this to last as per the other comments, think she's come out a fussy stage.
I don't mind waking too much in the night as it helps with supply and I like to think she's getting the milk she needs.
Breastfeeding isn't easy dispite what people say, you're doing a great job ❤️

Mine wakes up 2-3 times a night still
Has anyone got one of these from a brand they recommend? Not sure if Coco seat is a UK brand or what it's like as a company?
Thanks in advance!

My 12 week old uses Aldi Mamia size 3 nappies during the day with no problems, but at night both Mamia and Pampers Premium Protection size 3 have leaked after a few hours. Has anyone got tips for nighttime leaks or recommendations for other brands or strategies?

Hi all so my nearly 3 week old is wanting to sleep through the night she has had no issues with her weight and is gaining really well. Can I let her sleep through or do I keep waking her? TIA x

My baby is 15 weeks on Saturday. He used to sleep 9ish-6am with only 1 wake for a feed. He’s now ready for bed at 7/7:30 and sleeping until 7am but waking for 3 feeds! He had dropped to 6 5oz bottle but has now added in an extra one at 11pm. I’ve tried him with some 6oz bottles in the day but he struggled with them. What’s going on? Do I need to ride it out or try and up his daytime intake?

I was just curious if anyone has switched formulas. My 12 week old baby has been on aptamil 1 since birth but due to crap mat pay and the prices of formula nowadays I was wondering if anyone can advise if they switched and (or) if they've used aptamil and changed; which brand did they switch to. Thanks mummas
