How many times does your 8 month old wake in the night to feed? 🍼

Question

At 7 months my bub was getting up once or in the night to feed - it seems to have increased now at 8 months. He now gets up twice a night to feed - curious to see how everyone else is doing!

Answer

She usually doesn't feed during the night, but we notice she occasionally goes through little spurts for a week or so where she'll wake up and want a bottle in the night. We're guessing growth spurts. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I'm in the three or more group. It's exhausting. I know she's not even hungry, it's just a comfort thing

Answer

My 8 mo wants to feed at least 3 times. It’s getting so exhausting but she won’t go back to sleep without nursing ☹️

Answer

My son screams if he isn’t nursed back to sleep. Sometimes he goes back to sleep after 1 feed, sometimes he wants 4-5 feeds 🤦🏻‍♀️

Answer

My 8 month old is inconsistent. She wakes up around 4/5 times a night, she may be hungry one of those times, she wants to sleep curled up next to me & nurse whenever she wants😴😴😴

Answer

We tried weaning him off. For 3 nights in a row when he woke up, my husband just took him in his arms and tried to rock him back to sleep. He cried for about 15 minutes and then went back to sleep the first night. The second night for 10, and the third night for 5. The fourth night he pretty much slept through (although I woke up as usual, which kind of sucks!) and the following two nights he would not stop crying when my husband took him and nothing was helping, he was almost screaming and crying with tears, so I gave in and nursed him because I was so tired and just wanted to go back to sleep. He ate really hungrily which surprised me, as I thought that at this point he only nursed for comfort (so I guess not) and ever since then he’s been getting up exactly every 3 hours to nurse and won’t go back to sleep unless I feed him. God help us!!

Answer

She hasn’t woke up for a feeding since a month old. 
I think if youre breast feeding it’s pretty normal, but formula babies, not so much.

Answer

My daughter hasn’t had a middle of the night bottle since she was 5 weeks old.
