Does baby eat at night? How often?

pumpkinhead4 · March 2013

How many times are you feeding baby at night? If at all? Also, how do you know the difference between them being hungry and just needing comfort. LO still seems to want to eat 3x between 7pm-5 am. It's crazy!

My baby is 5 months and still wants to eat like 2x during the night. I think I need to start feeding him more right before bed bc the last 2 nights he's eaten the entire bottle during his 2 MOTN feedings! i know he just needs to be soothed

DS2 will be 3 months in a few days - he wakes up once at night, eats 4-5 oz and goes back to sleep quickly.

Bed: 6:30pm-7pm; Feeding: 4:30am, Wake for day: 7-7:30am

My baby is 4 month old, and he still wakes 2-3 times a night. Once, it is really to eat because he will nurse for 15 minutes or take 2-3 oz from a bottle, but I think the other times are just for cuddling and kisses. I am sick of people tellin

I don't think that the baby needing feedings 3x within that time frame is crazy. Babies have tiny tummies and can digest their food pretty quickly. It is just where they are at at that age. It'll change soon enough. <img src="https://community.thebump.c

My DD eats like every hour from 7-10. She goes to sleep around 11 pm which I know is very late and I'm going to try to get her to sleep earlier. She wakes up once around 4-5 am then goes to sleep until around 8.

Well, I guess I just figured since LO was turning 6 mos soon the eating at night would slow down to at least once. I suppose there are nights when she only eats 2x. She isn't EBF anymore but somewhat, I am just used ot my son who slept 12 hrs and woke onc

DD really eats about 3-4 times a night. She likes to comfort nurse some too. She sleeps with me from about 12 or 1am to 630 or 7am. I don't mind if she rolls over for a quick comfort nurse. We are gradually trying to get her in her room all night. DS woke

My LO still eats about 3 times at night too.

I struggled with knowing the difference as well. DS was eating three times a night until a few weeks ago. I started stretching out his feedings by using DH or alternative soothing techniques at longer intervals each night. Even after doing this he still u

DD is almost 3 months old, just about a week shy. But I nurse to sleep whenever she wakes if she wakes at night, and will continue to do that while nursing. I've found with my older DS that it's the quickest way I can get them back to sleep, s
