So my son still feeds throughout the night. He’s 6 month old... even if he drinks like 7 ounces before bed. 😩 I’m sure it’s probably normal, but I realllly just want a full nights sleep! My last two months of pregnancy were filled with insomnia.. now following up with 6 months as well.

Mine is 14 months old and she still wakes up once at night to feed. It doesn’t matter how much I give her or how much solid food she eats, she will wake up. My doctor said it’s also part of brain development why they wake up so frequently. So, I know the sleep deprivation is real, Mama

The life of a mom my son will be 9 mths old tomorrow he still gets up for a bottle sometimes depending how late the bottle is. For some reason the past couple of weeks my son would have a bottle & want to play for two hours.

My lil one is 16mths .. still wakes 2 to 3 times to latch on for a bit to go back to sleep ... it happens to us moms no matter if we want it or not.

@rasul.nadine, Thank goodness my passes out once I feed her. If she wanted to play I would just die from exhaustion 😂

@sunshyne76 part of brain development how? Now I'm intrigued and worried. Lol

@tlistboom, Not to worry lol. essentially when they are growing and forming new brain synapses, all the activity makes it’s difficult for them to stay asleep.

@sunshyne76 @rasul.nadine @tlistboom @sashie @delamorena2121 are your babies breast fed or on formula or cow milk? I'm wondering because my daughter has just turned a year. She's been sleeping through her nights for a while. Now her bed time is 9 and she wakes up around 9. Even if she wakes up a bit earlier she'll fall back asleep. At 9 I wake up no maytter what. Get her food ready and go get her. She gets 2 naps a day. They last between 1-2 hours. I feel like she sleeps too much sometimes. I hear this a lot. Even my friends baby wakes up in the middle of the night. Is she missing something? Should I be feeding her in the middle of the night? I'm a first time mom. Just wonderingg

@mommy1991, My LO has weaned herself off breastmilk and now does a combo of formula and cow’s milk. She does eat about 50% solids now. But she regresses back and forth. If she doesn’t wake to feed in the middle of the night that’s just fine! Mine did go thru a 6 week spell where she slept through the night...then she changed up again lol
In total mine will sleep as long as yours does. She wakes long enough to suck back a bottle and to change her diaper. She’s asleep before the last drop falls from her bottle. In total she sleeps from 8pm to 8am. And she has 2 naps in the day as well.
As a first time Mum too, I just go with her signals. Occasionally she’s not interested in a nap and other days like today she needed two long naps in order to avoid being cranky

@sunshyne76 Thank you! That makes me feel better. I just want her to be where she's gotta be. I do the same. Follow her signals. Watch her body language and her attitude. It's hard when you have no other experience to go off of you know?
Jacqueline Green·
@mommy1991, Oh yes, I so understand! I have a good husband who reminds when I start to doubt myself that “I got this”. It settles my anxiety and I trust my mummy instincts. So you do the same 😊 Plus I don’t hesitate to ask the health professionals around me for feedback.

@mommy1991 my lil one naps once a day .. for maybe 2 hrs .. wakes twice in a night for comfort. She still breastfeeds to sleep but eats solids completely for her meals. She won't drink cow's milk .. but I will keep trying.
Sasha·
Calyssa weaned herself off as well, she doesn't drink cows milk or formula she refuses to drink any even from a baby strictly almond milk, se eats 3 meals a day just like we do and snacks in between but her fat ass still won sleep straight through the night even with cereal in her bottle, she take 2-3 naps a day 45mins-1.30mins not very long @mommy1991, be very happy you get a fills night sleep is other mamas are begging for lol you got lucky girl
Sasha·
@tlistboom, you don't give her almond milk anymore?
Tara·
@sashie she refuses it 😕 she LOVES water.. lol
Sasha·
@tlistboom, that's good, Calyssa loves water to see always asking for water but she loooooooves her almond milk lol
Tara·
@sashie that's good!

@sashie, Did you just call my cutie pie a fat ass! 😂😂😂

I’m allergic to all nuts so I can’t try any of the nut milks. But I may try her on coconut milk. It has more fat that rice milk (which I use) but doesn’t cause food intolerances like cow’s milk does.

@sunshyne76, yes I did lol
