Then I give her two opportunities to nurse during her bedtime routine. She does wake up pretty hungry, and we'll have a long session in the morning. I like that though. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-bf-and-your-baby-sleeps-through-the-night#post-1229812 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 12:45:16 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1229812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes Baby Brother cluster feeds from whenever he first wakes (usually 5/6 am) until about 7/8 am when we get out of bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-bf-and-your-baby-sleeps-through-the-night#post-1229799 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 12:42:33 +0000 Adira 1229799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When Xander first started STTN, his morning feeds were long - up to 30 minutes usually (though sometimes longer). But now at 8.5 months, his morning feeds are closer to 10 minutes (and during the day more like 5). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-bf-and-your-baby-sleeps-through-the-night#post-1228426 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 21:45:01 +0000 JerricaBenton 1228426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only really in the early days of STTN. She tends to eat a lot at night. After 11 hrs, she's definitely hungry but not really fussing to eat and eats for about her normal time. She's 9 mos and other than a few periods of disturbance, has been sleeping through the night since 3 mos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-bf-and-your-baby-sleeps-through-the-night#post-1228407 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 21:34:04 +0000 delight 1228407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like some PP, LO really tanks up at night from 5-8:30. From 7-8pm she is pretty much eating the entire time. When she wakes up in the morning I can tell she's hungry because she gulps it down super quickly. She only eats for about 10 minutes though at that time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-bf-and-your-baby-sleeps-through-the-night#post-1228367 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 21:15:52 +0000 prettylizy 1228367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once she was sleeping through the night (6ish months) she would never nurse for more than 5 or 10 minutes at a time. She just got very efficient </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-bf-and-your-baby-sleeps-through-the-night#post-1228332 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 21:00:37 +0000 ZombieBullfrogHoller 1228332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't had cluster feeding since the early days, but when he sleeps for long stretches like that 7:30pm-6am without waking, he will definitely feed for longer during the first feed. Or with more gusto :P Lately he's been sleeping those hours but with a quick 10 minute feed around 3am and isn't so starved upon waking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-bf-and-your-baby-sleeps-through-the-night#post-1228303 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 20:44:51 +0000 Katrocap 1228303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: @hilsy85: Please don't think I'm complaining! I'm sure I'm jinxing it just by posting this :happy: It's just a new phenomenon, and I keep thinking, "oh you've had enough," but then DS goes all floppy when I try to set him down and wants to nurse again.</p> <p>@autumnlove: You must have an efficient baby!</p> <p>@bookish: I guess cluster feeding is what it is. I just never thought of that since it's first thing in the morning.</p> <p>@penny lane: DS often feeds for long stretches after daycare until bed time, too. Sometimes I feel that I'm only wanted/needed for my boobs! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-bf-and-your-baby-sleeps-through-the-night#post-1228259 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 20:32:38 +0000 hilsy85 1228259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: ha yes! I finished the post title in my head as "...I would be SO HAPPY". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-bf-and-your-baby-sleeps-through-the-night#post-1228238 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 20:24:25 +0000 autumnlove 1228238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, she sleeps 12+ hours and she nurses for about five minutes on one side! Maybe she gets a lot out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-bf-and-your-baby-sleeps-through-the-night#post-1228229 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 20:21:32 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1228229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. LO nurses for 30 minutes every morning after sleeping 11-12 hours. During the day she only hops on for five minutes per feed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-bf-and-your-baby-sleeps-through-the-night#post-1228196 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 20:12:33 +0000 Penny Lane 1228196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>like @Bookish: my LO seriously tanked up at night. like, fed every 30-45 minutes from 4/5pm until bedtime (which when he was a newborn was between 11pm and midnight!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-bf-and-your-baby-sleeps-through-the-night#post-1228195 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 20:12:24 +0000 birdofafeather 1228195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she STTN, I would rejoice! As it is, she goes about 7 hours and she really fills up. Not so much at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-bf-and-your-baby-sleeps-through-the-night#post-1228183 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 20:08:35 +0000 Bookish 1228183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours did the opposite and tanked up at night! When I was EBF she would cluster feed from about 5-7:30 and then conk out until morning! She's always been a slow eater though - a nursing session still takes upwards of 30 mins </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-bf-and-your-baby-sleeps-through-the-night#post-1228161 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 19:59:13 +0000 Katrocap 1228161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>... does your LO nurse like crazy in the morning? I'm probably tempting the sleep gods by stating this, but DS has started sleeping through the night lately. And when he wakes up he nurses FOREVER. I know he hasn't eaten since the night before, but it takes so long! </p>
