She's only 10 weeks old. She has a tiny stomach still. She may wake up for feeds for months yet, and there is very little to be done. If she has a fast metabolism, or just gets hungry, she'll wake up to fed til she's good and ready to sleep through. Babies often drop a night feed, usually the two am feed about 3 months, but some don't til they are much older. Only a very few babies sleep through from early infancy. You can try a whole range of routines, swaddling, baby massage, different formulas, [it's probably a good idea to rotate formulas anyway to give her a bit of variety - makes them less fussy later on], night lights, complete darkness, sleeping bags, sleeping in the same room, in her own room, white noise...but she'll get there in her own time.

10 weeks is still very young & she obviously needs the feeds still, she may be like this for quite a while yet all babies are different. its important that she does still get these feeds :yes:
my son is 6.5 months and still wakes 2-3 times during the night to feed... its hard but its all part of it :)

:wave: my DS is 10wks old now and has been haivng a 6/8hr gap between feeds overnight for about 1-2 wks already.

Didn't do anything to start this but he got really hungary in the early evening and we couldn't keep the bottles up to him! I would suggest you try to offer more in that last feed before putting down or feed more often in the early evening to 'fill her up' and see if that helps. combine this with a pre-bed routine like bath&bottle and see if that helps her learn night/day.

Good luck and let us know how you go!

Bub is ONLY 10 weeks old! She needs these feeds. Every baby is different and I hate to be the bearer of bad news but some don't sleep through for a while. DS didn't sleep through until he was 22mths. It's just part of the parenting deal! There is no magic solution.

Hang in there.
