How much should a baby eat?

Question

How much should 32weeker be eating in order to cut out the night time feeding? 
  He goes to bed at 7/7:30. And wakes up around 10:30/11:30 to feed. Then goes back to sleep but then wakes again around 2/3 sometimes to eat sometimes because he rolled and woke himself up.

Answer

Honestly the push to get babies to stop eating at night I’ve only seen in the USA. In other countries it’s the norm for babies to continue to get fed (breastmilk) until baby decides they no longer need it. My family were from Eastern Europe both my mom and mil think it’s so weird how our ped was pushing us to stop feeding our son at night. I decided to just follow my sons cues, when he decides he doesnt want milk then that’ll be that.

Answer

My son still wakes up numerous times at night he doesn’t really have a set bedtime sometimes he is in bed by 8 and other times 10:30 he will still wake up to pat his butt back to sleep and other times he just wants the boob. It’s exhausting

Answer

I give my baby a bowl of the fruit oatmeal with the fruit chunks before bed I know it says 12 months & up but her doctor said its okay to feed it to her! It seems to really help her sleep much better she goes through a good 10-12 ozs before bed if she only has a bottle

Answer

Mine is 33 weeks and we've started to split he last bottle of the night. She goes to bed 7/7:30 and has 4oz, then she wakes up about an hour later and has the other 4oz. You could try gradually offering less milk for the 2am feed so baby cuts down slowly?

Answer

Mine is 33 weeks and also goes to bed at 7/7:30 + feeds at 10:30. She eats about 24-27 oz during the day and another 4 oz at the 10:30 feed. Could the late night feeding be out of habit do you think?
