MOTN Feeding

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

DS just turned 5 mos. Hes a pretty good sleeper....goes down in his crib anywhere from 730-8 and even if hes awake he can fall asleep on his own. But he still wakes up around anywhere from 1 AM to 3 AM  for a feeding. Is there a point when this feeding should be eliminated ? I hear him rolling around and when he actually starts whimpering I go in and feed him. Should I be waiting longer to see if he falls back asleep?

    Have you ever tried leaving him for 10 min or so to see if he goes back to sleep, or giving him a paci to see if that helps? I say give it a shot! If he still wants to nurse, he'll let you know :)

    He actually doesnt take a paci anymore! He started spitting them out around 3 mos and wont have anything to do with them. He shoves everything in his mouth BUT a paci.

    I usually wait until LO actually cries before I go in. Sometimes he just wakes up to practice rolling or talk to himself. Then he goes right back to sleep. I also try soothing first with a pacifier or pats and shushes. If that dorsnt put him to sleep, I f

    DS didn't drop his night feeding until 6 months. Some babies don't until after a year old. There isn't a special point in development when babies just start STTN. When he wakes up crying, and you can tell he's hungry ,feed him. When he stops being hungry

    I don't know. It could just be a habit now so I'd try other things before feeding. My pedi said after 6 months they physically don't need to eat at night so I stopped offering it then.
