If you decide to try night weaning, your baby still gets all the benefits of breastmilk if you keep breastfeeding during the day. Note that it might take several nights for you and your baby to get used to the new routine.
This will help your baby get used to the change. If you choose, you can cut down the time faster — for example, by five minutes every two nights. For more information, check out our breastfeeding articles and our breastfeeding videos. If you decide to try phasing out night feeds and your baby is having 60 ml of milk or less during a night feed, you can stop the feed altogether and re-settle your baby with the settling techniques of your choice.
Awake time is between and 7. Daytime nap , and ish although starting to protest that nap. Kristin — Thank you for reading and for sharing with us. Night weaning can be a beast! If you can plan to graduate any changes you make across several days, this may help with that.
Hang in there and good luck! My baby is grabing bottle like his hungry but then pull away during night what can be the problem? Hi Fahima, thanks for writing to us! Thank you! We co-sleep, and my 6 month old baby nurses throughout the night. He typically does not put himself back to sleep when he wakes. Hi Jena, thank you for writing to us. I will say that babies do love the comfort of nursing and it really is so great as the momma too! At 6 months old the average baby only needs about feedings at night, and most often if it goes beyond that it is likely more of a sleep association rather than for the nutritional benefits and it becomes something difficult to sleep with out just like it would be hard for you to sleep if we suddenly took away your sleep association of a pillow or blanket.
My 8 month old baby boy still breastfeeds during the night and more than two times. Almost every hours. He is teething, has two bottom ones and now 4 top ones. He was also small for his gestational age and he was born at 38 weeks weighing 2 kg, but is now 8.
He started solids last month, until then he was EBF. He only had tsp of one mushy food a day. He also only sleeps naps if he is in my arms. We co sleep at night. Is it fine he breastfeed so much during the night?
During the day he breastfeed 4 times, but because I put him to the breast to nap or fall asleep or right after his vaccinations or if he cries or gets scared it ends up being a lot more. Hi Alexandra, thanks for visiting the Baby Sleep Site. I am happy to help. It may be a good idea to try to teach him to sleep longer stretches so that when you are ready to transition him to his own sleeping space that you are not having to get up a bunch of times a night to help.
At 8 months we would say 1 night feeding is normal and anything beyond that is likely a sleep association. Feel free to contact us directly at [email protected] and we will gladly point you in the direction of more resources. Thanks for visiting! My little boy is 7 months old next week.
He is on 3 meals a day and 4 oz bottles in the day and wakes in the night for a feed. We put him to bed at the same time every night. When he wakes in the night I offer him a oz bottle which sometimes he finishes but recently he only drinks oz then pushes the bottle away. He also recently wakes at irregular times anywhere between am — am. I go back to work in 10 weeks and would like us all to be sleeping through by then. Hi Sarah — Thank you for writing to us!
He certainly is not taking much at night, and the fact that he can fall back to sleep on his own after a feed and at bedtime is a great start! Hi Natalie — Thank you for writing and I am sorry that your little guy is waking and screaming!
This is so hard for us as parents, and we completely understand!
