But I swear he is hungry.... like starving. Of course it's been 5 nights now so I don't know.<br /> How did you figure that out?<br /> G is gigantic (like 90th percentile everything) so I don't know if he is trying to keep up with that much growth or something else.<br /> @krsmall: That;s awesome!<br /> @artbee: I would be envious but I know how badly you need that sleep. :)<br /> @sarac: I keep reading this and I swore we went through it already but it was too early. Maybe I have to figure out something new to deal with it.<br /> @Mrsbells: He also seems to be teething.<br /> @zippylef: Oh my goodness!<br /> @London Mama: Just before this hungry hungry time he went through like 3 days of hardly eating in the day and eating hungrily at night but only3-4x/night.<br /> Now he is nonstop eating all the time.<br /> @prettylizy: I like!<br /> @mynoahbear: Wow, nice. :)<br /> @chrispygal: Cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-wake-ups-and-feedings#post-333070 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 09:35:22 +0000 prettylizy 333070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Prettybaby was on the clock at 4 months, up twice every night, and then 5 months, boom, slept through the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-wake-ups-and-feedings#post-333053 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 09:28:03 +0000 Mrsbells 333053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Over the weekend she wouldnt even sleep more than an hour, but that might be because she was teething. she is 5 months and 3 weeks.<br /> On good night she sleeps through the night though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-wake-ups-and-feedings#post-333045 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 09:26:01 +0000 chrispygal 333045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 13 weeks and she usually wakes up around 3:30am (almost on the dot). Some nights she'll make it until 4 or 5am - even 6 am a couple times. I rarely feed her at 3:30 because if I pick her up and give her a binky, she'll fall back asleep. Sometimes she can go back in her crib and other times she'll have to come to bed with me but she'll sleep. The other night I did feed her because she has a cold and I wanted to make sure she was getting enough fluids. It didn't impact how late she slept. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-wake-ups-and-feedings#post-332823 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 06:53:35 +0000 heffalump 332823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Don't be. I'm 100% sure our next baby will be the complete opposite and wake us up constantly, while your next baby will let you sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-wake-ups-and-feedings#post-332795 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 05:23:32 +0000 mynoahbear 332795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 9 months and sometimes wakes up once during the night for a feeding ( breast), but not always. I'd say maybe once or twice a week, she'll wake up once for a feeding. The rest of the nights, she sleeps through. She's been this way since 3 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-wake-ups-and-feedings#post-332781 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 03:45:16 +0000 Penny Lane 332781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the moment my son is 2 months, he eats every 1.5 - 2 hours from 5/6 ish - 11/12 ish at night, and on a good night doesn't wake up again til 7. On a not so good night he'll wake up at 3.30 and 6.30, but then not again til 10 or 11.30. But no matter what, he always eats greedily when he eats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-wake-ups-and-feedings#post-332771 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 03:05:20 +0000 loveisstrange 332771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 4 months old, C started calorie-loading in the afternoons. She would only wake up once to eat and then eat very little in the morning but she'd pig out from about noon on. At 5.5 months, we hit a roadbump when she forced me to wean her from the swaddle. We had 3 or so weeks of HELL where she was basically a newborn and waking up every 2-3 hours again. It seems to finally have evened out now. She 6 months old and I think we're FINALLY STTN again. Down at 6:15pm, up at 7:30am. Last night, I did feed her at 5:45, but she wasn't really interested and she could have done without it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-wake-ups-and-feedings#post-332762 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 02:07:49 +0000 London Mama 332762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO seems to be going longer and longer stretches without eating during the day but wakes up around every three hours at night to feed, I'm hoping it'll start to go longer stretches at night soon. Last night was bad with DS waking up every two hours to eat. Unfortunately I don't think there's much you can do, if baby is hungry he needs to eat. Sooner or later he won't need to eat so much (at least thats what I keep telling myself!)</p> <p>How is your LOs eating during the day? Is he really hungry during the day as well? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-wake-ups-and-feedings#post-332733 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 00:28:04 +0000 sarac 332733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter had her 4 month sleep regression at 5 months, and at 13 months, she's never gone back to STTN like she did then. Something really huge changes at that time in the way they sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-wake-ups-and-feedings#post-332678 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 22:34:41 +0000 MsMini 332678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 3ish night time wakeups from hunger. We have had a mini-regression again from travelling over the long weekend, but I think we will be back to our usual 10pm-9am with 3 feeds soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-wake-ups-and-feedings#post-332603 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 21:17:05 +0000 winniebee 332603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@krsmall: I feel the same way - though I think T is pretty cozy in the 5th..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-wake-ups-and-feedings#post-332574 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 20:54:54 +0000 littlek 332574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B is 4 months 2 weeks and he sleeps either from 8:30 p.m. - 7 a.m. or 8:30 p.m. - 2 a.m. and then 2:30 a.m. - 7 a.m. He had been sleeping through the night consistently for 2 weeks but lately he's been waking up once for a feeding. I don't mind since he's a little guy and I want to make sure he gets all the food he can. I plan on him busting out of the 5th percentile!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-wake-ups-and-feedings#post-332566 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 20:50:44 +0000 cvbee 332566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: That's why I thought my LO was just having a growth spurt at the beginning of the 'bad times'. But he kept eating like that for weeks and it was getting to be more and more frequently.</p> <p>Pastemoo, what I did was assume growth spurt or wonder week or whatever until it lasts more than a week. </p> <p>Othewise, the Healthy Sleep book says it is 'normal' for 2 feedings overnight through to 9 months or so. I feed mine for all wakeups, so we never have 'nonfeeding' wakeups. These days (post sleep regression) we are wake-feeding 2 or 3 (and sometimes even 4) times per night. </p> <p>Does your guy ever put himself back to sleep? Mine needed to (re)learn how to do that before our nighwaking issue resolved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-wake-ups-and-feedings#post-332548 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 20:31:22 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 332548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 8.5 months old and still wakes up 2x/night. Most times she can cry herself back to sleep after about 10 min, but if she's sick or going through a growth spurt, she wants to be fed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-wake-ups-and-feedings#post-332545 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 20:22:55 +0000 winniebee 332545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: jealous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-wake-ups-and-feedings#post-332543 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 20:22:05 +0000 winniebee 332543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: sounds like a growth spurt if he is Ewing hungrily every time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-wake-ups-and-feedings#post-332541 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 20:18:18 +0000 heffalump 332541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are very spoiled. My lo is 14 months. Since 2 1/2 months she's been sleeping 12 hours straight, with few exceptions like last week when she woke up because she had diarrhea. But that's very rare. I just changed her diaper, gave her some milk, and she went right back to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-wake-ups-and-feedings#post-332535 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 20:01:45 +0000 pastemoo 332535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: It is! Thanks! :) I don't know why he is suddenly so hungry--4 nights in a row now and looking like it will be another icky one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-wake-ups-and-feedings#post-332527 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 19:54:35 +0000 winniebee 332527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>T will be 5 months in a week. He is in his crib 12 hours and has at least 1, but more typically 2 wakeups. It's pretty random these days though when the wakeups happen. I don't count it a wakeup unless I go in there to feed him or soothe him. Sometimes he sleeps 4 hours, wakes to eat, then sleeps 6 more, eats then sleeps 1. more. On another night, he might sleep 7 hours, eat, then 3, eat, then 1. If we're lucky, 9 hours, eat, then maybe 2 more. </p> <p>Last night, he went to bed at 7, woke up at 11 crying as he was on his belly and couldn't figure out how to fall asleep....but then only ate 3 oz before passing out again. Then he slept til 6, woke to eat, and then slept til 7:30. </p> <p>Usually once a night he'll wake up and cry a little but fall back asleep immediately before I even go in there. Lately, I have noticed he does not eat greedily at night feedings - he takes a little for comfort/to help him get back asleep but he's not starving or even really interested in filling his belly. As such, even though I'm awake every time he cries, I wait at least 5 minutes before going to him. </p> <p>From about 3.5-4.5 months, he was waking every 3 hours for one reason or another. </p> <p>Not sure if this is helpful.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-wake-ups-and-feedings#post-332514 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 19:46:36 +0000 pastemoo 332514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Going through sleep regression and wondering about when we eventually do go back to normal. </p> <p>What is your "normal" number of wake-ups over night? How many of them are feedings?<br /> How old is your LO?</p> <p>My LO is 4 months + 2 weeks.<br /> Last week he would get up about 4 times and eat greedily every time and then go right back to sleep (no play time, no diaper change--I felt so blessed!)</p> <p>Now we're at 6+ wakeups a night and EVERY SINGLE ONE he eats greedily.<br /> I very very rarely have a non-feeding wake up. When we do, it's within a hour of him falling asleep in the first place.\ </p>
