At that point he was waking up pretty much every 90 minutes and wanting to nurse to go back to sleep. The recommendation of the doula who helped us through it was to go in between 10-11 and dreamfeed, and that should give him the extra food he needed to get through the night. She also said I could, if I wanted, go in around 4 and feed him again so I did that for a few months but then I stopped actively doing it and he basically didn't notice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-wakes-up-to-nurse-once-a-night#post-2277633 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 09:40:06 +0000 josina 2277633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 9 months and we still have 1 to 2 wake-ups at night. For awhile they were at 12 and 4, but between teeth and ear infections his sleep got pretty random.<br /> We sleep-trained once at 4 months when we moved him to the crib, but I'm pretty hesitant to do it again, I'm hoping he gets better on his own... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-wakes-up-to-nurse-once-a-night#post-2277623 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 09:30:57 +0000 jape14 2277623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We sleep trained (Ferber) for going to bed at 4 months, and DS kept one night feeding until about 7-8 months. It was a fairly irregular time - anywhere from 1-4am - so I figured it wasn't a habit but actual hunger. He dropped it on his own in exchange for early wakeups (5-5:30am) between 8-9 months, though! Those went away (for now, anyway) around 9-10 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-wakes-up-to-nurse-once-a-night#post-2277622 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 09:30:37 +0000 dolphin 2277622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: maybe she is going through her 4 month regression? DD1 was sleeping 8-10 hour stretches at two months old but at 3-4 months old she started waking up multiple times a night again. Every month her sleep would change a bit. I blame it on a growth spurt. Actually her entire first year I felt like she was going through growth spurts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-wakes-up-to-nurse-once-a-night#post-2277599 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 09:06:43 +0000 Ash 2277599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>IF my 2 month old gets up, it's usually around 230...<br /> There are times my 21 month old still gets up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-wakes-up-to-nurse-once-a-night#post-2277596 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 09:04:31 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2277596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my LO is 4 months and spent about a month starting around 2.5 months sleeping from 7 to 530, nursing and sleeping till 730. Then suddenly she starting waking at 1...and then also 3. So she essentially has 3 wake ups now and it's killing me. I asked her ped why she was previously STTN and now suddenly isnt, and he suggested starting solids. So I've been giving her banana in a mesh feeder but I hasn't helped. So I decided to try doing 2 feedings in the hour leading up to bedtime instead of one and that hasn't helped either. I honestly don't feel like she needs to eat at night anymore but I don't know what else to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-wakes-up-to-nurse-once-a-night#post-2277530 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 08:18:50 +0000 bushelandapeck 2277530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is 10.5 months and still waking 1-2 times per night to nurse. The times are pretty predictable though (usually 12am and/or 3-4am) and I would love for her to give them up, but I don't think she's quite ready . Or maybe I'm the one who isn't ready :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-wakes-up-to-nurse-once-a-night#post-2277525 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 08:12:37 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2277525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ineebee: That was my feeling, once a night isn't that bad and it helped with the total amount of overnight sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-wakes-up-to-nurse-once-a-night#post-2277501 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 08:02:33 +0000 ineebee 2277501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: That's encouraging to hear! He did sleep 8pm-6am ONCE when he was around 3.5 months, but I knew that had to be a fluke! But yeah, the once-a-night wake-up feels pretty luxurious and I really don't mind it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-wakes-up-to-nurse-once-a-night#post-2277483 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 07:49:00 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2277483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If he is just waking up once that is GREAT! </p> <p>Most babies up until a year may need a bit of food overnight to really get that 10-12 hours of sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-wakes-up-to-nurse-once-a-night#post-2277454 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 07:36:42 +0000 ineebee 2277454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your LO wakes up to nurse once in the night, what time is that nursing session? Is it pretty regular? And how old is this LO?</p> <p>DS is 5 months, and he goes to sleep around 7:30 or 8pm and wakes up anywhere between 10:45pm-3am to nurse, then sleeps pretty well most of the time until 5 or 6am. We're going to sleep train soon, so with the unpredictable wake-up to nurse, I wonder if I'll know whether to go in to nurse or implement the sleep training method (a modified Ferber). </p> <p>I'm wondering if other babies who nurse once a night nurse at regular times or if it's as irregular as mine. Thanks! </p>
