STILL Feeding at Night!

LO is (obviously) almost a year old and he is still taking a feed at night and it's driving me nuts!  He's obviously hungry, since he drinks a whole 8 oz bottle, but I don't understand how.  He has breakfast/lunch/dinner, sometimes milk in between, and if he sees one of us eating he wants some too.  So, the kid is eating enough throughout the day.  He stops when he's not hungry.  But, every night, between 3 and 4 am he's up to eat.  Can anyone commiserate?  He's been growing and gaining weight so I dunno.  I'm tired.  I just want a full nights sleep back.

Re: STILL Feeding at Night!

  • We still feed overnight most days. I don't mind if it is at 4 or so. Its when it is at 1 and 4 that it wears me out.

    This is where we are, too. She nurses pretty heartily for at least 5-10 minutes, so I know she's hungry. If left to their own development, I think most kids would eat once at night until closer to 1. I will probably wait until September at least to see if we can cut it out.

     All of this!   I've resigned myself to the fact that I need to just get my butt in bed a little earlier a couple nights a week.  It's hard, though, I love staying up and having time to myself after she goes to bed.  Just remember that it won't be forever!
