How long can my 6 month old go without eating at night?

Question

My 6 month old had a bottle at 7 last night and we went to bed at 9. She normally wakes us up about 5 hours later hungry again, but last night I happened to wake up and it was 4:30AM (so 9 hours) and she was still sleeping peacefully. I went ahead and woke her up to feed her, but my question is should I have done that or just let her sleep?

Answer

As long as baby is healthy, gaining weight, and eating enough during the day…let that baby sleep!

Answer

At 6 months, if they've been gaining well, you can let them sleep. Congrats, btw!

Answer

Let her sleep! Lol

Answer

Yes totally fine.  My guy has been sleeping about 13 hours as night for a long time.  Our daughter did too.  Never would dream of waking them❤️

Answer

Cold turkey cut the night feedings. Yes, it’s easier said than done but  they can go all night without being fed.

Answer

My preemie born at 31 weeks was sleeping though the night at 7 months. We did sleep training. He wasn’t waking because he was hungry he was waking because he wanted comfort.
