did starting solids help LO STTN?

DD usually sleeps from 9ish to maybe midnight or 1 AM, wakes for a feeding, and then wakes every 1.5 to 3 hours for the rest of the night. It's rough getting through the day with three kids sometimes! I was going to start solids at 5 or so months, but if it would help cut down her night feedings, I'll start now.

My other two DDs STTN by two months, so I don't really know if solids aid in sleeping.

    I could have written your post!! Then we started rice cereal. i started in the morning to make sure it didnt upset her stomach. Then after 3 days I offered it to her at night rather than in the morning. Her routine is now bottle, bath, cereal. She slept from 8:30-4:45, then a bottle, then back to sleep until 8:30 this morning. It was the BEST sleep I have gotten in a LONG time!!

    We've been eating rice cereal and fruit combo for a little over a week now and he is not STTN but he is sleeping more soundly.  There was a 2-3 week period where he would wake up fuss for a little bit then go back to sleep like 5x a night on top of his one feeding.

    Ha ha.... Nope! Never helped with DD1. And so far DD2 is the same. We started oatmeal last week and she has been such a bad sleeper the past month. I really think its teething related though.

    We tried oatmeal cereal for about a week and I swear it made her sleep worse! She would wake up for the first time before midnight and wake every 2 hours the rest of the night. Could be related to something besides the cereal, but seeing as it definitely didn't help I am not going to keep feeding it to her and hopefully when we start fruits and veggies around 6 months maybe that will do the trick!

    My LO has been STTN since he was 8 weeks... however, this past week he has been waking up...I at first thought maybe he is going through the 4 month wakeful period and I just needed to suck it up, but he would down a whole six ounce bottle in ten minutes and be fast asleep again until the morning. so i realized he was hungry. he was just getting up for a quick bottle and back to sleep he went. 

    i decided to start adding cereal to his diet since he is almost four months. i started in the morning to make sure he had no allergies. then i started to give it to him an hour before his last bottle of the night...so our new routine is cereal, bath, book, bottle and bed. he is back to STTN. :)
