When did you stop night feeds?

How old was your bub when you stopped feeding through the night?

[LilMissnBoo]

15 months :)

I am still doing them! Bub is 1 next week, have been trying to cut them down by using the shshshshs and patting methods and it is working to some extent!

Well DD gave them up at 2 months, then took it back up a few months later, then gave it up, and now at nine months and teething I reckon she needs a night feed about once a fortnight maybe once a week??
But I guess since 2 months I have not been giving her a night feed as a standard thing, but only because she stopped wanting it.

I cosleep with my 2 year old and still feed him if he wants it at night :)

We are still having night feeds at 16 months. DS was 13 months when we stopped night feeds.

[Pregnor]

ummm... 3 weeks. :laughing: He has had maybe 3 night feeds since then and hes 9 weeks now and has slept from 8 til 6 or 7 the last week

And no, I didnt use controlled crying. I feed on demand.

:eek::yelclap: That is an amazing effort! Good on you!

DD is almost 9mths. sometimes she is getting up 3 times for a very quick drink, other nights not at all.

That's totally my problem... DD doesn't feed during the night anymore but I still wake up five times!

OK so I probably feed her during the night once per fortnight or once every three weeks. When she wakes up crying, I feed her. But, from about 4 months on, I started to realise that when she woke up at night, she'd take two sucks then fall asleep again. So I realised she didn't need the food.

I decided to 'test' whether she was hungry by just sticking the dummy in when she woke up, and yep, it worked. She'd nod back off.

So now I dreamfeed at some point between 10pm and 11pm, and I won't feed her again until anywhere between 5am and 7am (depends when she wakes up).

At the moment, we're dealing with a 3am wake up issue - she wakes up and chats away to herself. She nods herself back off to sleep (sometimes I need to put the dummy in), but it's an issue because we all share a room (one bed apartment).

I'm sure she's not hungry, because she wakes crying when she's hungry (which she does about once per fornight) and I feed her straight away.

Still feeding and she is 6mths. She is starting to sleep through probably 2 -3 nights a week at the moment. But other than that - up for a feed once a night every other night.

My 1st daughter slept through from 6 weeks. Was quite spoilt there :D
