Did you actively decide to stop night feeds?

Question

My daughter is 10 months and still wakes 3-4 times per night for food, which I know isn't necessary anymore. 
Did you actively stop feeding your baby during the night? If so, at what age? Or did you wait for baby to start sleeping through the night and no longer needing any night feedings?

Answer

How do you know it’s not necessary anymore? Id question whoever told you.

Answer

You could focus on making sure she is getting more calories during the day time and see if that helps with night wakings. My son eventually started sleeping through the night closer to 18 months old.
My son would feed more often during leaps and growth spurts though so she could just be going through a phase if it's a recent change.
I would say if she's hungry, she's hungry and to trust her judgement (even though it sucks!).

Answer

I sort of did a combo I guess. Around eight months, I stopped using food as the first option during the night. I tried giving back the pacifier, turning on the sound/light machine, changing diaper, giving snuggles. If they went back to sleep, then awesome. If they didn’t settle or were back awake in 10min, I fed them. We even did this when our oldest was 2. Some nights he needed a snack at 2 am (he was eating like a teenage boy all day too!).

Answer

Yes. When my son was 2 years, 4 months old 😅

Answer

When both my kids starting doing random all nighters I realized they could do it so we started giving up nighttime feeds. First was about 7 months and second was 6 months. They did great! But I did follow their lead essentially

Answer

At 10 months we moved baby into his own room. The first night he slept 12 hours without waking and after 2 weeks almost never had night wakings. Prior to that he had been wanting to nurse every two hours. I was getting no sleep.

Answer

My 2yr old still nurses every 2hrs day and night.

Answer

My son woke up for feeds until he was one.  He would wake up 3 or 4 times a night just like your baby. He would scream and scream for the bottle no matter what I did & wouldn’t go to sleep until he was able to get a bottle, my dr said he didn’t need it and to let him cry it out with periodic check ins… but he would cry for an hour almost every night. So I gave it to him. By the time we transferred him to food and regular milk he stopped waking up and now sleeps through the whole night !
