@Ash: thanks for the reply, but that makes me sad. Haha I guess I should just wait it out. Did yours just drop off on their own with your older child? Or did you do something to get them to STTN?

@schubr03: just dropped off. It makes me sad too!!! Because I haven't had a kid sttn in over 2.5 years.

My almost 9 month old still wakes 2x a night to eat (unfortunately). Usually one of those times is when I'm still awake around 9-10pm. Then another one sometime during the night but that second wake up is not consistent and it drives me bonkers. It can be at 1am or 5am there is no rhyme or reason!
From what I've read, it's very common and normal for a baby to wake 1-2x a night to eat if they are ebf up to 10 months old. Then 1x a night until they are 12 months old. We've tried CIO for MOTN wake ups to no avail so I'm just waiting it out. I have a theory that babies who are ebf without bottles sleep worse then babies who take bottles. I SAH and LO never gets a bottle so I really have no clue how much he is getting during the day. At least if he was taking bottles id have some idea if he wasn't getting enough.

@Portboston: I'm in the same boat. DD doesn't take bottles because i am home all day. I think I am going to start to try to get her to take a bottle during the day. Maybe this will help her get more calories during the day. My Ped said the same thing, though. That it is normal for EBF babies to wake still during the night until they are one and beyond.

Ugh I'm done at 1. I'm so ready for a full nights sleep

After sleeping training my LO at 6.5 months, we were down to 1 wake up a night. For most of month 8 she was waking up 2-3 times a night again, which stunk. But now since turning 9 months last week she's slept completely through every night! We didn't do anything differently, I think it was developmental. So maybe you're getting there!
DD is also super clingy to me right now and won't let anyone else calm her. I think 9 months is a time for major separation anxiety, so I might wait a few more weeks before trying anything in terms of training. -
Oh, and she's EBF and does take a bottle of pumped milk at daycare, so maybe that supports your theory! Hang in there!!

Our LO2 was waking multiple times up through one year old. She goes to daycare but has never drunk much from a bottle, so that may have been an issue.
We tried limiting overnight feeding several times: my husband would go in to calm her up until a certain time at night. We would stick with it for up to a week, but it just meant less sleep for all of us (baby up crying, husband up tending to her periodically, me up listening to the baby cry) so we would stop. Finally at 12.5 months, we tried again and she started sleeping through the night after 1 hard night. For us, it seemed like we really just had to wait until she was ready
