Keep your baby warm and secure in her crib so that she tries to sleep through… doesnt she like to take a formula bottle at night ?

I think its a gradual process!

How is she going now?

i tried giving my 8 month bub solids before bed but she still wakes up 3-4 times a night to feed. She is not hungry i know. I have tried letting her cry out at night but just couldn’t anymore so i went back to feeding her. I am just hoping as time passes she would stop getting up so much but right now i feel like i have tried all methods..

how did you go?

Hope you found some useful advice below.

Maybe some more solids so that he feels fuller and just sleeps through. Or you could express so that hubby could get up and do one of the feeds and it would also help to break the cycle.

How did you end up reducing the night feeds?

Hope you went well

It is really hard to break the habit. I could never sleep during the day, so it was really hard and draining getting up several times a night to feed them.

I hope you found advice on reducing night feeds

Is there someone else who could go in & settle him? Someone without boob?

I’m going to have to read no cries now. I would have said he Eli grow out if it and try not to touch him etc. but my two year old still wakes

Hope you find the answers you’re looking for, there’s lots of great suggestions here.

My 1 year old has just recently done the same thing. At first I was just holding her to get her back to sleep, then I was just putting her dummy back inane she has been going back to sleep.
I’ve had really bad nipple problems start, don’t know why, so I am now on day four of not breast feeding, giving formula instead, not something I wanted to do by choice, but having infected nipples meant I have to.
I know you may not want formula recommended, but for the last four nights, my 12 month old has slept through, I am loving sleeping the night, it’s been over 12 months, so for me it’s bliss.
Good luck with your little man xx

I was going to suggest the bottle too, all mine were breast fed until around 11 months and after dinner I would give them a bottle.

My children have all been bottle fed but I hope I can help. I reduced night bottles with our first 2 (3rd is only 5 weeks old) by reducing the amount each bottle, as it was more of a comfort thing, they just wanted mum. Slowly we step down to I would just get up cuddle them and but them back down without a bottle, then eventually they didn’t need to help to resettle. Our baby is already going 10.30pm to – 5.00am without waking for a feed. If she grizzle I just pop the dummy in and she settles.

Have you tried a dummy? Its probably a bit late to introduce it now, but I started giving it to my bubs to break them from the middle of the night feed. Worked a treat and by the time they were 18months they were both off the dummy and bottles.

Maybe see if your husband or another family member can give him a bottle before before bed and then put him down. Then to give you a break have them get up and attend to him if he wakes – If you do this and he knows he may not get boob it might be encouragement to stay asleep.
My little one never slept through until we started her on cow’s milk.

You are his mother and what you decide is up to you and your husband. Maybe think about giving up the breast in the next few months all together? Maybe something else to eat before bed as he maybe getting hungry? Is it possible to try and get him to sleep after a feed instead of during? Maybe he might not be so upset if he wakes? goodluck
