Now, If she wakes up in the middle of the night its because she's sick or teething. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-sttn-did-you-have-to-actively-wean-night-feeds#post-405997 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 11:40:16 +0000 Kfamilie 405997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, everyone, for sharing their experiences! Ill see where we are in a month or so when he's ten months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-sttn-did-you-have-to-actively-wean-night-feeds#post-403832 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 10:08:56 +0000 winniebee 403832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>By STTN, I assume you mean ALL night.</p> <p>My son is down to 1 and sometimes goes all night. I don't plan to let him CIO at this point, but I have been ignoring him unless he persists for 15 minutes. That usually stretches him out another few hours. I'm hoping he'll drop the last feed on his own. He's 6 months. He usually sleeps 7-8 hours, eats and then sleeps for like 3 more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-sttn-did-you-have-to-actively-wean-night-feeds#post-403734 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 07:46:09 +0000 littleveesmommy 403734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD dropped her night feeds from 2.5-3.5 months, then went through her 4 month sleep regression. By the time we got through 4-5 wakings for a few weeks for that, she was and still is holding on to one night nurse session. She's 9.5 months and I am giving her time to drop it on her own. Some nights she's guzzling and some she's just grazing so I'm confused if I should actively wean or continue going with the flow. Oh how I miss sleeping uninterrupted!!! She slept 730-6 for two nights this week and it was heaven. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-sttn-did-you-have-to-actively-wean-night-feeds#post-403704 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 06:16:34 +0000 Andrea 403704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She dropped it on her own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-sttn-did-you-have-to-actively-wean-night-feeds#post-403684 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 05:11:50 +0000 Chastenet 403684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD starting sleeping through the night on her own at 3 months. But, by sleeping through the night I mean 8-9 hours (which is a full night for me, so I'm happy), not 12 as some mamas' LOs do. She typically feeds at about 11pm, we put her down she sleeps until 7ish, feeds again and sleeps again until 9 or 10am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-sttn-did-you-have-to-actively-wean-night-feeds#post-403645 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 02:10:11 +0000 banana 403645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my son dropped on his own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-sttn-did-you-have-to-actively-wean-night-feeds#post-403595 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 00:18:32 +0000 glimmersnaps 403595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay I'm laughing... DS is 21 months and he has never EVER slept through the night. We are starting to work on it now. I just kept thinking he would drop it on his own, but he's not that kid. He needs a gentle nudge. We are starting by making him sleep without nursing. He's been doing it for about a week. He still wakes in the middle of the night and nurses. This is his only nursing. Our plan is to keep this up for about a month and then cut out the middle of the night nurse... Unless he miraculously drops it--ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-sttn-did-you-have-to-actively-wean-night-feeds#post-403559 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 23:11:19 +0000 erwoo 403559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first I didn't night wean until he was off breast milk. It was much easier. With my second, I'm thinking about night weaning and wasn't too sure how to start. Thought about cold turkey but am afraid of another mastitis case. Then I just read what @cheesetomywhine wrote and it sounds like lessening the time makes total sense! I think I'm going to try that sometime next month! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-sttn-did-you-have-to-actively-wean-night-feeds#post-403556 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 23:10:27 +0000 junebugmama 403556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jax dropped them on his own and we co-sleep too. Remember if you're nursing APA says sleeping through the night is one 6hr length of sleep. For the Moms who are getting more than that, early on, it's not the norm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-sttn-did-you-have-to-actively-wean-night-feeds#post-403550 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 22:57:14 +0000 yoursilverlining 403550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She dropped all night feedings on her own, is 5 months and 99% of the time sleeps thru the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-sttn-did-you-have-to-actively-wean-night-feeds#post-403541 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 22:36:23 +0000 keiki_mama 403541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO dropped to 1 feed a night by 3 1/2 months and we trained him to drop his last feed at 5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-sttn-did-you-have-to-actively-wean-night-feeds#post-403539 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 22:30:39 +0000 autumnlove 403539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO dropped it on her own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-sttn-did-you-have-to-actively-wean-night-feeds#post-403509 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 21:59:07 +0000 knittingmama 403509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dropped it on her own at about 3 months...about 3 weeks ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-sttn-did-you-have-to-actively-wean-night-feeds#post-403492 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 21:47:26 +0000 prettylizy 403492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She dropped it on her own at 6ish months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-sttn-did-you-have-to-actively-wean-night-feeds#post-403491 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 21:47:14 +0000 Mrs. Bee 403491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>olive was down to one but she's been sick for so long she's been waking 4+ times a night. i don't think she will sttn unless i night wean. she's 13 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-sttn-did-you-have-to-actively-wean-night-feeds#post-403460 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 21:03:45 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 403460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not what you want to hear, but my LO didn't drop that last night feeding on his own until 12 months. He kept just the one for a loooong time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-sttn-did-you-have-to-actively-wean-night-feeds#post-403447 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 20:39:23 +0000 tysonja 403447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>our LO dropped them himself. i think they were all dropped by around 4 months? (12 hrs sleep straight). maybe ask your ped/doc if you can 'help' him drop the last one? :) sounds like you guys are doing great, though!! :) anytime now!</p> <p>eta: our LO drinks both formula and breastmilk, so that might've helped him sttn earlier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-sttn-did-you-have-to-actively-wean-night-feeds#post-403394 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:53:13 +0000 sarac 403394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine STTN at 2-5 months all on her own, then stopped. We just pushed her to drop her last night feed a month ago at 13 months. No training, really, but we sent daddy down instead of me, and she'd just snuggle up with him and go back to sleep. Now she sleeps through about half the time and he goes and snuggles up the rest of the time.</p> <p>I hadn't thought she was eating much over night, but when we did this, she about doubled her food consumption during the day, so I guess she was. We'd tried before, and she'd screamed bloody murder. This time, she was ok with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-sttn-did-you-have-to-actively-wean-night-feeds#post-403326 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 18:50:01 +0000 cheesetomywhine 403326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I weaned. She.would wake once and eat for ~10 min. so I halfed the time. I got down to 3 min. (over a course of about 2 weeks) and had DH go in to soothe. Took a couple of nights of him rocking her but so far so good! She's almost 5 months. I should note that I do a dreamfeed at 11. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-sttn-did-you-have-to-actively-wean-night-feeds#post-403316 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 18:41:27 +0000 NerdBee 403316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO dropped all feeds by himself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-sttn-did-you-have-to-actively-wean-night-feeds#post-403307 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 18:34:41 +0000 loveisstrange 403307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She dropped all but one. We trained to drop the last one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-sttn-did-you-have-to-actively-wean-night-feeds#post-403302 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 18:31:30 +0000 littlek 403302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO dropped the feedings himself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-sttn-did-you-have-to-actively-wean-night-feeds#post-403292 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 18:23:51 +0000 Kfamilie 403292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Or did LO drop them on his/her own? LO is 9 months and just in the last two weeks is consistently down to 1 feed a night, which he did on his own. I wanted to give him a chance to drop down on his own cuz he definitely still did 2-3 times a night, then 1-2, and now once. I have been ok with this because he generally goes back to sleep and for the most part seemed to be really hungry. But I am thinking of the future and beautiful, uninterrupted sleep!. So for mommas who had a LO still waking up to eat: did your LO drop it on hus/her own or did you have to train? </p>
