FF question: how many hours at night?

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months
I am in the process of weaning DS and switching to formula. He takes 3 bottles of formula a day (6 oz each) plus nurses twice. He is on table food 3x a day. How long does your LO go at night without a feeding? We give LO his last bottle around 7:30. He wakes up to nurse around 430 am but then right back to bed. 9 hours straight is pretty good but I would like to wean him completely because sometimes he pushes that wake up time earlier and earlier and we have to let him cry a bit. At this point, he may be waking up out of habit. I'm not sure how much he is taking because he is nursing. I realize that this is pretty good because he goes back to sleep. I know some babies are up for the day at this hour! Anyways, I would like to wean from this early morning session but is that unreasonable? Thanks!

    Well, dd has been fed formula only since 5 months and her sleep hasn't improved.  She's up twice a night usually.  Once around 5-6 hours after she goes to sleep and the second time about 4 hours after her first wakeup.  She's in bed from around 7ish pm until somewhere between 7-8am.

    DS has been almost exclusively FF since birth (don't even get me started on that...) and he STTN at 4 weeks. Between months 8-9 he was waking up during the night but not to eat.

    He usually sleeps 12+ hours and has since like 3 months old.

    DS drinks 3-4 bottles (7-8oz each) and has 2-3 meals a day. He wakes up between 9-10 am and goes down at 9pm. He hasn't woken up for a bottle during the night since he was maybe 6 months old.

    We supplemented DD with formula at the beginning. Once we increased her oz. during the day (around 4 months old), she slept all night without waking. She is now EFF since 5.5 months and still sleeps 11-12 hours a night. Before consistently having solids 3x/day, I was giving her four 8 oz. bottles. Now she has four 6 oz. bottles and doesn't always drink all of each of those bottles.

    He sleeps from 8 pm and wakes up between 2 and 4 am to drink 8 ounces and then sleeps until 8:30 am. He chugs the whole 8 ounces in about 15 minutes and then goes right back to sleep so for us as long as he actually needs the calories and isn't just waking up out of habit we will continue.
