If your 6 month old wakes up after 8 hours in the middle of the night what do you do? Put them back to sleep, feed them, or let them put themselves back to sleep?

Question

I see they should be sleeping 11-12 hours through the night. Just curious what y’all are doing?

Answer

I think it’s more 10 to 12 hours out of 24 rather than in one long stretch. 
We feed and then put her back down for another sleep.

Answer

At 6 months they are likely hungry and every baby is different, some sleep more and others not as long. Follow your baby's cues and feed them as needed then put them back down. Do what works best for you and baby.

Answer

It really depends on you and your baby! 
Did they sleep through the night without a feed before this? 
If so maybe try putting them back to sleep without a feed? There are many reasons a baby wakes in the night aside from hunger! 
Your LO will help inform you on what they need to get back to sleep. If they are hungry they will not willingly be put back to sleep! If they don’t resettle after 10 mins then try the bottle! 
The important thing about this app is seeing what others do and using it as experiments, but always just do what works for you and your baby no matter if the comments are insisting something is absolutely right or wrong to do

Answer

Lol
Gimme a baby that sleeps 11 hours a night and I’ll get pregnant this week! 😂
Always feed - change nappy - and try to put them back to sleep

Answer

After 8hrs they will need nutrition, please feed them.

Answer

They could legitimately be hungry after several hours. Sleep trainer advised to feed before age 1 if they wake up after several hours. Just a couple hrs is out of habit/soothing. Some babies can go 12 hours, but some cant, especially during a growth spurt and before table solids

Answer

If my daughter used to wake up I'd feed her and change her diaper and put her back to sleep. If she needed the change. It usually helped her sleep if she didn't have a full diaper

Answer

My daughter is 8 months and still up every 3-4 hours to be fed during the night. I get up, feed her, and put her back. Shes never slept through the night and my oldest was even worse
