EBF mothers.. When did your child sleep through the night?

scnewmommy · May 2012

My baby is 6 months and still waking up twice a night to eat. He is fed solid food once a day. Is this normal?

My mom is convinced that if I switch to formula he will wake up less. I'd like to continue to bf as long as possible, I just really need some rest

I switched to formula with my first and she didn't sleep thru night until 7mo. She started formula at about a month. My son is 10mo now and ebf and started sleeping through the night at 4 weeks. Regressed for a cpl months waking up twice a month but is back now. 6 hours is considered sleeping through the night

And formula doesn't have much to do with it! Hang in there!

My lo is almost 6 months now. She slept through the night at 4 weeks and still does . I never gave her cereal or anything. I just started giving her some veggies twice a week. Try to pump and make the last feeding of the night a bottle feeding. Hhe may drink more and sleep better.

My peanut has been sleeping thru the night (7pm - 5am) since 4 months...occasionally he will wake up around midnight just to have a little mommy time, but is back to sleep with in 30 min.

Going on 10 months and still wakes twice a night, but only long enough to get boob in mouth and goes back to sleep.

My son started to sleep a whole night just close to eight months. You can always try rocking and a binky before nursing just to see if he is really hungry or just wants comfort!! I tried that with my son and it worked after a few nights of rocking he quit waking up!

Mine decide one night that he dint want to get up anymore... that was at about 6 months.. it was just out of the blue.. and last night he slept from 9pm to 930am when my hubby actually woke him up because they had to get ready to leave. He is breastfeed and on baby foods too. It will happen but its all your lo's choice!!

It varies with my son, sometimes he wakes 2-3 times a night or like last night went to bed at 7pm, I dream fed him at 11pm & he slept through til 6am, he's just turned 14 weeks & he's been doing this for a couple of weeks :-)
