What do you consider a "night waking?"

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

DS usually sleeps from about 7:30 to 5 or 5:30, which is GREAT. He takes a bottle and then goes back to sleep for about two hours. I know many babies are just up at 5 or 5:30 and I should be grateful for that extra couple hours. But as long as they go right back to sleep, do you consider it a night feeding? I've been told to cut out night feedings, and I'm wondering how this will work when we're trying to get off formula completely in a couple months. TIA.

    My DS is the exact same as yours.  Sometimes he wakes anywhere from 4:30-5:30 to eat but goes back until 6:30-8ish after BFing.

    I don't consider this a "night waking" because it's still 9-10 hours of solid sleep, which is technically STTN.  It's kinda annoying because if he could just hold off a bit more it wouldn't be as exhausting for me but it's hard to complain because he used to wake every 2 hrs!

    Since 5:30 isn't a completely absurd time to get up (although I don't think anyone wants to get up that early) I would call that STTN.

    I wouldn't consider that a night waking. Anything after 5am is morning, imo.

    Starting around 9 or 10 months, DD2 had cut out most night wakings but would wake up around 6am to nurse and go back to sleep. Within the past two weeks she seems to have cut that out on her own and has been waking up around 8am instead.

    DS does one night waking around 2am for a quick bottle and goes right back down.  I'm sure he doesn't "need" it and we plan to cut it out at the 1 year mark if he doesn't wean himself by then.  I consider that a night waking but on the rare occasions that he makes until the 5:00 hour, I feel like he legitimately sttn.
