At what age did your child stop waking to be fed in the middle of the night? My son will be 5mo on the 31st and still wakes 2-3 times a night wanting a bottle.(formula fed) he drinks 6-8oz every time he is fed day/night
@tysonsmommy715, it's where you feed him in his sleep, without allowing him to wake up. after feeding him, just burp him and immediately lay him back down so that he continues to sleep. I did that for a few weeks until my son eventually just started sleeping 8 or 9 hours straight thru. he goes to bed at 8 and would sleep til about 5 every night while doing the dream feeding thing. he now sleeps 12 hours straight! and still takes a 2 hour nap in the afternoon.
my son has his last feeding at 12 am and doesn't wake up until 8 am or even 9 am . and he just turned two months .
My son is 6 1/2 months, I started giving him cereal at 2 months. he wouldn't eat the cereal at first either, but one of my friends recommended to put just a pinch of brown sugar in the bottle with the cereal. and it worked! I now buy the Apple/Sweet Potato cereal, because he loves the added flavor to it. Also, my son started sleeping all thru the night without waking up right when he turned 6 months old! I know all babies are diff, but hopefully your son will start sleeping more at night for you! also, try feeding him more baby food, since he likes it. let him try the baby food that has the cereal mixed in it already. I feed my son 2 to 3 of the 4 oz jars of baby food, 3 times a day. and bottles in between if he wants them.
my daughter sleeps from 9pm to 5 wakes up to eat and sleeps till 9. they say baby's only wake up when they are hungry or wet. he might not be full. if he falls asleep while eating wake him until the bottle is done.
@sarah.griffy, hope you get some sleep eventually 😊 and I feel your pain
He won't eat the rice cereal. He eats a whole container of baby food twice a day plus his formula @oliviasmommy0927
@tysonsmommy715, Girl!!! I haven't slept more than two hours at a time tonight. The baby keeps having gas, teathing.pain, you name it. This too shall pass.
@sarah.griffy, but my son wakes up 3 times a night like I put him to sleep tonight at 9(visiting with grandparents) and he just woke up 10mins ago ate went to sleep, he will probably wake up again at 3or4 and eat again and might stay awake for an hour then go back to sleep then wake back up at 7...talk about being exhausted when he wakes up through the night 😴 I'll be glad when he sleeps through the whole night lol
@lovemyson_610, I will definitely have to give that a try
