@kingdomkings Still on 3 naps - 2/2.5/2.5/3 Admittedly the last feed is only ending about 10 mins before placed in bed. We went from bath, bottle, bed to bath, bottle, books, bed. We do sit in the rocking chair for books, but I wouldn’t say he’s rocked to drowsy. I put him in crib awake and...

@meeble27 Yes there really is no settling without a bottle for us. And I’ll admit, I don’t have it in me in the middle of the night to attempt to soothe a screaming baby when I could just offer a bottle and be back asleep in 10 mins.

@lostandinsecure We started solids but BLW so he’s not actually getting much. We started making sure his bottles were nice and warm during the day (previously chilled or with the chill taken off) and more room temp bottles at night (less appetizing?). I mean I can’t force feed him but we offer...

@chariskay This is actually reassuring! No part of me wants to withhold food if he’s hungry. How old was your baby when he reduced his night feeds? Slept through the night?

@meeble27 Yes it does seem to be getting worse and I definitely thought it should improve as the months go by! I think I’m going to try and get him on a feeding schedule rather than let him snack all day. Maybe he’ll take more at a time if the feeds are more appropriately spaced. I don’t know… a...

@doitenberg Good advice! I sometimes don’t have it in me in the middle of the night and just feed because I know I can go back to sleep in 10 mins rather than if I try and soothe which will last much longer. I think I’ll pick a couple nights and know I won’t sleep and try to soothe without a feed.

@bip When he woke at 2:30, I fed him 4oz and he slept his reg 3 hour window. So another wake at 5:30. I do think maybe he still has a sleep association and I’m going to space his last bottle and bedtime out a little more as suggested by another commenter as well. We do rock and snuggle a bit so...

@andrej558 So reassuring! I feel like my friends kids are all sleeping through the night at 12 weeks. Or so they say. I wouldn’t even mind one or two wake-up’s, but 3-4 is brutal. I think I have it in me to get through another few months of this.

@l43l On demand pretty much but his naps are on a schedule. Even though on demand, it’s very frequent. I think I need to get out of the habit of offering bottles so often and letting him snack and move to a schedule and space out the feeds so he wants to take more at a time. He’s a snacker for sure.

@dalegm We JUST got to independent naps. He’s contact napped up until about 2 weeks ago. When I read PLS, I realized I really need to get this baby to go to sleep on his own. She says that fixes like 98% of sleep issues.

@pchris He’s on level 2. Do you think he should move up to 3 at his age? He has no problems with reflux

@maxgraham That’s good to know because if you google, it says a baby should get between 24-32 oz a day. So when he was up at 40, it seemed like so much! Currently he’s getting 6, 5 oz bottles during the day and usually leaves a little. I go tend to offer a bottle every time he fusses during the...

@rapaines Currently he gets offered 6, 5 oz bottles a day. He never finishes his morning bottle (presumably because he’s been eating all night) and might leave an ounce or two in another bottle. I’ll try increasing the volume, but I’ve always had a hard time getting him to take more that 4oz at...

@nilu Thank you! So reassuring.

@ash_p Yes at one point around 14 weeks he was only waking once! And now at 6 months, he’s waking like a newborn!

@oxid Will try more purées! Thank you. I’m not against purées or anything, I just like BLW because I can just modify what we’re eating a bit. But I do have a baby cook I can put to use for more purées.

@phelven Wow! That’s amazing. I’ll maybe try some purées and get some solids in his belly.

@phelven Yes starting solids but BLW so he’s not actually ingesting much.

My 6.5 month old still wakes 3-4 times to eat. Fussing escalates to screaming until he has a bottle in his mouth. On a good night, he wakes 3 times - bed at 7:30, wake at 10, 1, and 4, up for the day around 7. I read Precious little sleep and we stopped feeding him to sleep for both bed and...
