1 motn feeding?

Cricket81

Those of you who are still feeding once, what time does that happen?

We were down to once, but suddenly he's eating twice again and I would love to cut one of them. Thanks!

I'm working on sleep training now and hoping to cut out all feedings before 5.  But she's been waking up as often as hourly and being inconsolable without nursing, so it'll be quite the challenge...

@kacelle us too! How are you doing it?

How am I not collapsing while waking up that often, or how am I sleep training?  Haha.  I'm using Ferber's method of CIO with graduated check-ins.  Hoping for the best!  DD #2 is still in a crib in our room, so it's making it a bit tough since she can see me if I stay in the room.  Tonight I've been leaving until she falls asleep (like now).

LO would still like to eat every 2-4 hours but if he wakes up before 3am we console him without nursing. Anytime after 3 and he gets to eat. Minus the last couple days that he's been sick he was sleeping 7am to 4 or 5am and then eating

Have your tried to send in your SO/DH? The pedi told me to send in my DH because my DD knows I have milk. It took about 4 days of that. And now we are STTN. She does wake up but pits herself back to sleep.

DD usually wakes only once a night between 3:30-4.  She chows down and goes back down pretty easily.  I then usually have to wake her at 6:15 to eat again before we leave for daycare - she is always ready to eat again so it works for us.

Typically around 5 AM, then back to sleep for a couple of hours.

Anywhere between 3:30 and 5 am, then sleeps until 7:30 or 8. Cutting out the earlier feeding worked for us.

For us it depends on the night. Sometimes its "early" such as 11-midnight and other times its 2-3am. I try to just rock him back to sleep if its the 2-3am one but sometimes he won't have it. I can usually tell by his daytime eating and consumption if he will wake up for a feeding. If he ate good throughout the day then I try the rocking thing, if he sucked at eating then I know he will eat at somepoint.

Sigh.  I wish I could do this.  DH gets up for work at 4:45 every morning and works long hours.  I'd feel pretty bad waking him up during the night since he doesn't get enough sleep as it is.  Also, he's a REALLY heavy sleeper so I'd have to wake him up for every check-in.  Haha.

C is down at 6pm for the night - if he has a wakeup it's between 9-10pm. Then sleeps through to 6:30 or 7am. It's strange he wakes so early, but I don't fight it since I'm still awake and it's a quick 5 min feed and back to sleep. He's been cutting it out on his own lately.

My guy wakes up around 3am to eat, then back to sleep until I wake him up at 6am (on work days) to feed him, then back to sleep. On weekends he'll sleep after the 3am feeding until about 7am.
