Did your EBF baby sleep better after starting formula or solids?

Question

Desperately seeking a way to help my LO sleep. Even if that means giving up breastfeeding partially. My mom swears it'll help. Any other experiences?

Answer

I have 3 kids. I formula fed my first because I was put on medication 3 weeks postpartum . She was the most difficult sleeper. 🤷‍♀️ I doubt formula would help. It’s normal for babies to wake up and want comfort/to eat , I know it can be frustrating but they really do grow so fast.

Answer

Ours is now fully formula and even at 13m he still wakes for a 2/3am bottle

Answer

Nope. He's 16 months and is still up every 1-2 hours, despite eating full meals.

Answer

Nope, not at all. For the first 14 months or so my daughter only slept well next to me (preferably with a boob in her mouth). 
Once she got older, she naturally became more independent. She’s now 3 and a great sleeper (in her own room), she sleeps from 7:30pm-7am without waking up and gets herself to sleep with no issues.

Answer

No. It’s an old wives tale that solids help them sleep better.

Answer

no not with my second. she slept pretty good but she was in our room until 1 year and then we still BF til whe was 15 months. Although she did start eating baby food around 6/7 months.
