When do babies drop middle of night feed?

Question

Please comment below with what happened with your child or your children or what you think is the age when babies drop the middle of the night feed?

Answer

Ebf with my daughter and she stopped her middle of the night feeds around 3 months. I offered a feed every 3 hours that she was awake to make sure she got the calories she needed during the day.
Then they came back at 6 months when she got more distracted to feed during the day.
Now it's a hit or miss, she sleeps through most nights but sometimes will not feed super well during the day and then wake once at night.

Answer

I’ve breastfed 3 boys. My youngest is 12 months and he comfort nurses all night. Usually 3+ times a night.

Answer

7.5 months.  He started getting angry when we came in for his dream feed!  That’s when we knew he was done.  Just based on my experience, dream feed was a HUGE game changer for us.  No more random middle of the night wake ups.  We instituted around 4 months when he was down to one wake up and it was clearly hunger.  Nothing would console him.  So instead of waiting for him to wake up at between 2-4am, I went in for a feed 3-4 hours after bed time (between 630-730) and fed him while he was still sleeping.  No more middle of the night screaming wake ups!  He slept 8 more hours from that point so he was sleep 12 hours a night.  Still does just no dream feed now

Answer

Dropped at 4 months with first, 5 months with second. Feedings here and there if they have a night they wake up but for the most part we got lucky with sleepy babes

Answer

Every baby is different!
Around 4 months our baby was no longer feeding at night. But for many babies it’s not that early.

Answer

About 6-7 months with all 3 of mine.

Answer

25months and still waking for a bottle/boob 😂

Answer

9 month old and still nursing once at night sometimes 2 times.
Older son was formula fed and at 6 months dropped his bottle. We just stopped giving him one when he woke up and he then decided it wasn't worth being awake if he wasn't getting one lol. He was 99th percentile in weight.

Answer

Mine stopped at around 8 or 9 months on his own.

Answer

At 6-8 months, I started to cut my girls off of their 2/3am feedings using the Ferber method :)
