I try to get to him before he wakes up fully, or else it's harder to get him back to sleep. It's also harder to feed a distressed baby!

I no longer keep an eye on the time, but at 7.5 months, DS still feeds throughout the night. He's right beside me though so it's no trouble. He's growing incredibly quickly and learning tons of new skills, so I'm guessing he really needs all that nourishment overnight!

Heck no! I allow a couple of minutes of fussing and then go get him. I figure the quicker they eat, the faster they go back to sleep and so do I! My boys just naturally dropped their feeds over time.

Depends on when it happens. If it's around the 40 min mark from when she went down then I figure it's her struggling to link her next sleep cycle and leave her for a bit.

Although in the motn I've been woken up by her and by the time I get to her she's already back to sleep.

When she was very tiny I usually got her right away, but after a few months it depended on what time it was. If it was a time I knew she'd normally eat anyway it was easier to just go do it than wait her out, since I wasn't sleeping then anyway. If it was too early or shortly after she ate I waited longer. And sometimes I actually couldn't sleep and needed those let down hormones to help me sleep, so I'd jump right up.
