When did you drop all bottles in the middle of the night?

KJOjuly04

I stopped all bottle in the night but she is still getting up several times.  I am wondering if I should still be giving her a bottle in the middle of the night?

as long as he wakes and is hungry I will give him bottles. I will only stop when he no longer gets up at night.

If she's waking up... she's most likely still hungry.  Only stop with the bottles if she STTN or doesn't take the bottle when you try to give it to her.

You have to stop when she's ready.  Not when you're ready.

I did this with ds and he was almost 9 months!!!  He shouldn't need a bottle during the night at 9 months.  I just don't want her to have the same sleeping habits as him because he is almost 2 and still doesn't sleep through the night.

DD started sttn at 6 weeks.  So she hasn't eaten at night since then.

If she's hungry, there's not much you can do about it. Not every baby will STTN.

Agreed - you need to make sure she's not hungry.  I stopped night feedings around 2 months...when I would give DS the bottle he would eat 2 sips and pass out...once he started doing that consistenly I stopped getting him up and gave him thr paci instead.

 Now we're back to 1 "night" feeding around 4:30 or 5am...ugh.  Hoping starting solids will help (although I've heard it doesn't).  He's drinking 28-32 oz already.

Well, DD's nursing but it's the same thing. She's 6 months and still nurses at least once at night.

Ok that makes me feel better.  I don't mind getting up and feeding her but I just want to know if she is hungry and not something she is just use to doing.

I dropped the night feedings when she started sttn (she was about 7 wks old).

DS still gets up at least once during the night, and he is almost 6 months old.  I know he is hungry, because he's definitely eating during this feeding (and not just comfort sucking).

DS has just gradually dropped all of his night feedings except one. Right now, he gets up once to eat, and that's it. He just stopped waking up for the other ones, one by one.
