Does your little one sleep through the night?

Question

My baby girl is now One and still waking up to eat. She has been exclusively breastfeed. I’m so tired.

Answer

I have the same problem...he wakes up to “eat” to fall back asleep usually twice. And he doesn’t exactly pass out...usually takes some soothing and sneaking out of his room quietly. I know I created this problem by not sleep training but he has an 11 year old half brother and letting him cry it out at night has not been an option for us. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ sometimes he drinks 4-6 oz at night and last night he had barely 3 between 2 feedings. It sucks, I’m exhausted.

Answer

Is she getting enough to eat during the day!? I’m weaning my daughter currently so she’s nursing 4x a day. And has 2 sippys of 3oz milk after naps. Plus 3 meals. She sleeps 8-7ish. She’s been sleeping that long through the night since like 6mos though. 
I wonder if she’s filling up enough during the day maybe that’s why she’s hungry during the night 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Awww sorry momma! Maybe talk to your pediatrician? Also, the book Baby Sleep Solution has a whole chapter on cutting night feeds with some helpful charts and guides. It’s intended for helping. Bit younger but there are chapters on older babes too. It’s a quick and easy read and pretty cheap. Good luck!

Answer

Does she need the calories or is it just out of habit? I would try to comfort her using other methods or try a sip of water.
