Night feeding questions

😢

My LO is going through this, we’ve co slept so we just cuddle, pat her back and she goes back to sleep. She still requires at least 2 bottles during the night but she only drinks like 70-90ML compared to her 150ML. Co sleeping is the only way any of us get any sleep, otherwise we really struggled and were so sleep deprived and exhausted.

Someone who’d raised 6 kids recommended feeding an extra ounce of milk and it helps keep them full and settled for longer. Maybe try feeding a little extra? Our LO is very specific, she throws up if we feed extra.

I normally breastfeed but at night I’ve been pumping a bottle full so I can guarantee that she’s had enough to eat, then after she’s eaten and been changed and burped I swaddle her and rock her- a pacifier also helps while rocking her so she still thinks she has boob in her mouth. It’s tough tho I’m still struggling with nights but she’s slowly transitioning into days

My 15 month old still feeds 2/3x a night for comfort, its normal

It’s normal I’m afraid, my little one was the same until he was weaned off the breast. He’d be feeding every 2 hours constantly! We introduced a bottle and my husband helped, game changer in his sleep and wakes x

Yeah sadly wouldn’t recommend any of those options! Night weaning isn’t recommended until more like a year or they do it naturally. The cutting day naps (or revisiting schedule) might assist with if she’s waking every hour but the three hour stretch sounds normal. You could try a dummy or comforter? X
