It's not like she went from 4 to 3 to 2 to 1 and then none. The entire first year, and even into the second, is filled with things that cause babies to wake up more and demand more food- wonder weeks, growth spurts, teething, etc. </p> <p>In the beginning when she was a newborn, I remember her only waking up once a night (granted she went to bed around 10pm). But then growth spurts and wonder weeks hit and she started waking up 3x a night by 12 weeks. Then from 3 months to basically 6.5 months, when we sleep trained, she had many many night wakings to eat (anywhere from 2-6). Then around 6.5 months she had 1-2, and around 8 months she pretty much dropped to only 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1472184 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 09:47:59 +0000 AmandaB8 1472184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I consider us to only have one feeding through the night at 7 weeks. She eats at 9-10, then at 2-3, then between 6-7. But I'm awake for the first and last, so I don't consider them "MOTN" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1471926 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 07:58:59 +0000 JoJoGirl 1471926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 6 months. She was on two feedings a night starting around 12 weeks (12 and 4 usually), and stuck there until we sleep trained her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1471852 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 06:09:58 +0000 Smurfette 1471852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 4 months, after sleep training. That lasted maybe three weeks and teething switched it all up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1471849 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 05:56:48 +0000 petunia354 1471849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: LOL! This thread is blowing my mind. We were having 2-3 wake ups (to eat) his entire first year!! Granted we probably could have sleep trained but damn, there are a lot of excellent sleepers on HB! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1471846 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 05:26:50 +0000 Silva 1471846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uhhhh 10 months, after sleep training? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1471844 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 05:23:16 +0000 daniellemybelle 1471844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raintreebee: Most of those schedules would require some level of sleep training. Moms On Call sleep trains very early - I think like 8 weeks? The Baby Whisperer (EASY) doesn't advocate CIO but she does recommend a dream feed. Dream feeds never really worked for us but you could try it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1471842 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 05:18:43 +0000 daniellemybelle 1471842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Six weeks is tough *hugs* After we got LO's days &amp; nights sorted out she typically only had 2 night feedings, maybe 3. At about 8 weeks, LO started going 9-5 &amp; then back down until 9, so basically STTN. Then at 12 weeks or so (I can't remember - it's awful) she started waking up more again. We hit the 4 month regression &amp; had to sleep train because she couldn't make it longer than one 45 minute sleep cycle. Now we are back to 2 night feedings. She goes about 4 hours between feedings. Honestly I think that's pretty typical for babies though I do wish she would go down to 1 feeding! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1471830 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 04:09:45 +0000 Cherrybee 1471830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We formula fed so DD was in a time-bound routine from the start with regards to feeding. Don't get my wrong, she woke outside of those times, but she was fed every three hours at that age (7pm, 10pm, 1am, 4am, 7am). I guess that's three night feeds? </p> <p>She dropped the 10pm one at around 8 weeks, waking at approx midnight then again at 4am, 7am..... </p> <p>Then, at 5.5 months, she randomly STTN. It was a one off but it showed us she could do it. I then started offering the dummy (paci) at the 4am feed and she would just go back to sleep.... Not having the 4am feed meant that she was hungry in the day and she drank more milk, which in turn meant that she woke less in the night. She started STTN at 6 months. </p> <p>Then teething happened and we're back to 2 wake ups a night now (but they're not feeds, of course)!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1471618 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 22:51:10 +0000 Grace 1471618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raintreebee: Now, I have a less-than-steller sleeper, but what I found was that nothing stayed consistent. I'd have a week of great sleep stretches followed by a week of crap. And then there would be a growth spurt/wonder week/teething/new milestone that would also throw it all off. So, I think that's why there is all the variability. And to throw some more confusing info at you, the Healthy Sleep Habits book says that 2 wakeups even at 6 months is still normal. Who knows. Baby sleep is weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1471609 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 22:46:27 +0000 winniebee 1471609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe 7-8 weeks? There were of course regressions but by and large he only woke up once a night after that. No feedings after 8 or 9 months and often after 4 months. But he also only slept 10 hrs overnight until 1 year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1471596 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 22:34:28 +0000 Ree723 1471596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: Lol, yeah, they take after me, I love my sleep! DH is a super finicky sleeper (needs silence, complete darkness, right temp, and even then he still struggles sometimes). I told him if our children inherited his crappy sleep habits, he would be the one waking up with them fourteen times a night! So far so good :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1471585 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 22:28:42 +0000 yerpie110 1471585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 3-4 months for my LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1471551 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 22:08:01 +0000 lawbee11 1471551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 7 months old.

There is so much variability! Guess I have no clue what to expect!</p> <p>@Grace: we just went down from 4 to 3 two nights ago. Not sure how long that will last. I have been doing one at 11ish, 2ish, and 5ish. All the "schedules" I read (moms on call, sample easy routines) say we should be at one feeding a night now! I am doing on demand rather than schedules, but I am surprised at what the sample schedules say. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1471543 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 22:00:55 +0000 jetsa 1471543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 6 months and a 12 hr night we are at 2-3. I'd say we're still several months out from 1 feeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1471468 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 21:14:02 +0000 Grace 1471468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are only having 3 feedings at 6 weeks??? I just looked back at my records and we had 4-5 at that age. At six months we're down to 2-3 a night still. One time a night....wow, I can only dream. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1471240 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 19:49:40 +0000 Sparkler 1471240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two until 9 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1471218 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 19:41:11 +0000 Mamasig 1471218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 10 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1471198 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 19:35:29 +0000 Rubies 1471198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With D1, it was at 8 months.

Right now I'm trying to slowly night wean him by shortening the duration of his feeds every few days. Right now I'm at 8 minutes. I'm hoping when we get down to under 5 minutes he starts dropping them on his own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1471169 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 19:24:58 +0000 Ree723 1471169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO just turned four weeks yesterday and for the past two nights, we've only had one feed at night. Hoping this continues! I can't remember when DD1 went to one feed overnight but she started sleeping 12 hrs through the night, no wake ups, at 2.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1471147 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 19:20:20 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1471147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She dropped to 1 feeding for about a week at 3.5 months, and now at 6 months we're sleep training, and she's down to 1 feeding/waking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1471143 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 19:17:59 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1471143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around seven weeks. She night weaned at eleven weeks, then picked up a feed at six months and lost it again fairly soon after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1471052 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 18:44:28 +0000 Cchoi4 1471052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 7 months and I think we stopped feeding in the middle of the night last month?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1471045 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 18:41:48 +0000 PurplePeony 1471045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night was the first time she's only woken to eat once. She is 13 weeks old today. Still remains to be seen whether it will continue (fingers crossed!) or whether it was just a fluke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1470991 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 18:21:27 +0000 blackbird 1470991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we may have been at 2 feedings after 1-2months? I wish I could temember but we were at two for awhile and at 1 by month 3 when I went back to work because I temembet thinking I could do one wake up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1470989 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 18:21:00 +0000 petunia354 1470989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Somewhere between 12 and 13 months....for the most part. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1470987 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 18:20:07 +0000 wonderstruck 1470987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think around 2 months? Maybe closer to 3? One of those things that you forget about once you're not dealing with anymore, probably in part because of the sleep deprivation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-drop-to-one-nighttime-feeding#post-1470975 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 18:14:57 +0000 Zbug 1470975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Six to eight weeks were terrible. DD dropped to one feeding for about a month at three months. She went back to 2-3 at four months. At five months she usually wakes up twice. BUT she eats so much faster now. It's much better than it was at six weeks! </p>
