    2 more weeks til DD is 9 months, but she sleeps 8-9 hours at night without eating.  I feed her right before bed around 7pm, and she usually wakes up to eat around 3-4am.  She sleeps a few more hours then til around 6:30.

    Does EBF include us if we are doing solids?  Doesn't seem to matter anyways as we are getting our first tooth and sleep is a thing of the past.  Before the tooth, I could very occasionally get 8-9hours at night, but usually 4-6.

     Are you not sleeping?

    DS is almost 9 months.  He gets 11-12 hours of sleep but probably 13 or so without eating (most nights).  He eats at 6-6:30pm goes to bed around 7-7:30pm and up at 7am.  Occasionally, he'll wake up between 10-11pm to eat again, but usually sleeps through.

    He actually hasn't been gaining weight all that well, so I will likely start waking him at 9:30-10pm to eat again just to get the extra calories in him.

    DS will be 9 months in about a week. he goes from 6:30 p.m.-ish until, well... a large range. sometimes, he can go until 3 a.m. before he needs to eat. sometimes, he wants to eat at 12 a.m. or 11:30 p.m.

    He's gone 7-9 hours a couple times, but lately he seems to be up every 3-4 hours.  If he's up 3 times at night, he eats 2 of those times.  The other time he just wants comfort.

    Oh, should also note that he is also doing solids (3.5-4oz at breakfast, 4-6oz at lunch and 4oz at dinner).  But he is on BM, not formula (yet).  Sorry if I'm not in the group you wanted info from.

    My guy is currently sleeping about 8 hours straight, up at 4am, then back down for 2 more hours. He is EBF, and solids 3 times a day. Our pedi said this is normal for a non-formula fed baby....just wondering if there was hope for more continuous sleep.....

    wow, and I was expecting our once or twice/night feedings to end any time now.  Guess I was wrong! We're in it for the long haul.

    this is SOOO reassuring to me. DS eats usually at 3:30 a.m., after going to bed at 8. He has been waking up lately at 11:45 p.m., but we have been able to rock him back to sleep.
