How many 4 month olds are still waking to eat at night?

krisim · November 2011

Just curious to see how many others are getting up for night feedings still. My dd wakes up once a night to nurse (usually between 2-4 am).

Mine does!

Jay_Cee · November 2011

She typically gets up around 2:00 and around 4:30/5:00 to eat. However, she's been getting up every hour to 1.5 hours lately, so sleeping is not happening in our house. She's EBF (and I'm not sure the norm).

We do...down around 8 up between 3:30-4:30 to eat.

jani7 · November 2011

At least once sometimes twice. DS is turns 4 months tomorrow.

tiff012982 · November 2011

not quite 4 months yet, but sometimes she wakes between 2 and 4 am and other nights she goes straight through to 6-7 am. I have no idea what accounts for the additional hrs but she is so hungry when she wakes.

smileyk14 · November 2011

mine does...

mjune3881 · November 2011

DD is a little younger than yours ... 3 1/2 months. We put her down after a feeding between 8:45-9:15pm. She typically sleeps until 4-5:30am when she wakes for a feeding then back down until 8:30-9:30am.

Mine!! He was STTN for a while with some nights waking b/w 5 and 6 if he couldn't make it until morning... THEN last week DH said "buddy, wouldn't it be nice for mama if you cut out that 5:00 feeding so she could sleep?" and he has been waking up twice a night ever since LOL... now b/w 2-3 and 5-6. YAY!!

agemmell · November 2011

mine! we usually wake up around 3, and she eats a lot too maybe 7 or 8 oz.. and then back to sleep til 8 or so. sometimes she'll get up when i get up for work, and sometimes she'll sttn... every night is a surprise lol

MilMom2B · November 2011

We're at 5 months here, but still up 2 times a night (usually) to eat.

katiewhompus · November 2011

Here. We were doing a feeding at 2am and 7am but now DD has decided we're waking up every 2 hours between 9pm and 7am and I'm struggling. She also decided only I do night feedings (we bf but I have milk in the fridge) and refuses any bottles from H.

ring_pop · November 2011

Two night feedings, one around 3:30 and one around 6:30. Sometimes he wakes up around 12:30-1:00 too but DH rocks him back to sleep without feeding if he does.

evanzmom11 · November 2011

He was almost STTN about a month and a half ago, and then he went to just waking up once a night. Last week we were at 2 feedings a night again. And now we're back at once a night. So it fluctuates every week.

erin79 · November 2011

We are! DS sleeps 7:30 - 6:30 with 1 or 2 feedings.

We usually re-paci him when he wakes up for the first feeding, and sometimes he'll sleep until the next feeding, and sometimes he'll wake up 20 minutes later and I'll feed him.

I EBF.

shelliescove3 · November 2011

My bean still wakes up at LEAST once...usually twice

law&order · November 2011

Mine does. Twice. From 2-3 months it was just once and then the 3 month growth spurt hit and he's back to twice.

katie4253 · November 2011

Not every night, but fairly often (maybe 1/2-2/3 of the time.

Itmamma · November 2011

We are up once a night at 1 or 3 am, i am fine with that for now

kkasper13 · November 2011

We are still waking to eat, but that is not the only time she wakes. But I won't feed her until she has gone the amount of time she went the night before with eating. We are dealing with an ear infection and hard core teething right now, though, so maybe she will stop the extra wakings once we get past this.

newbmom347 · November 2011

My DS wakes up twice (at least) to eat...he goes down between 7-8pm and is typically up by midnight to eat and then up again by 5am to eat. Since I'm usually up at 4am for work, it's hard for me to think of the second feeding as a middle of the night feeding, lol! There were a couple weeks where he was sleeping until 2am and then again until 6-7am...but it's been at least a month since then. Hoping things turn a corner soon.

abbyfp2324 · November 2011

She started STTN three nights in a row two weeks ago, then last week we went on vacation and her good sleep went down the drain. Since we've been back, the past three nights she has woken up at least 4 times.

erika1677 · November 2011

mine does once or twice a night.

ladybug122 · November 2011

My DD is 5 months now, and she still wakes up to eat during the night.

fivesgirl · November 2011

Mason wakes up once a night to eat. Usually around 4-5am. He'll take a whole bottle and go back to sleep.

Sometimes he gets up earlier to eat, but that's usually because he went to bed earlier.

EXACT same for us at almost 5 months.

karagillen · November 2011

Baby J has been STTN (about 9 to 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep) since he was 11 weeks old. He is now 15 weeks. A few times since he started sleeping through the night, he was not interested in eating, and so on those days he woke up hungry in the night, but that isn't the norm. I know that not everyone agrees with it, but someone recommended that I use the sleeping/eating tips in the book "Babywise." SOOOO amazing!!!

heather82hair · November 2011

Mine dd does once a night at around 4:30 or 5

Ds does the same thing.

germanpickle · December 2011

He wants to sleep at 6pm, wakes up once before midnight, once after midnight, then at 6 and then almost every two hours.

ElatedMom2B · December 2011

My almost 5 month old still wakes up once if not twice to eat. Bed at 7:30-8:00 and sometimes up around 10:00 and 3:00 then up at 6-6:30. Sometimes 3:00ish and then up at 6-6:30. I remember it being so tough to do with my first, but this time around its not that bad...I guess because my almost 3.5 year old still wakes up sometimes once a night...even if its just a dream that I hear her, I don't necessarily have to go into her room for her.

AmandaP678 · December 2011

My kids will never sstn

SoxFan777 · December 2011

Mine wakes up at least 3 times a night, but only once is a true "feeding"... the other times, he needs a binky or he needs to be rocked... I wish he was sleeping better, I'm exhausted all the time!

Bunniehug · December 2011

Mine is still up every 2 - 2 1/2 hours like clockwork to eat.Between 6-9 weeks she slept 6-8 hours in a row but hasn't for over 2 months. Pacis don't work, just wants boob!
