5 months old still waking up 2x to be fed

[trivox]

@cerebrus1986 Same, still woke up at least once until 13 months

@benstiller12 My 7 month old still wakes up at least twice a night.

 

[weeunc]

@benstiller12 Only 2?? Mine is 5 months but 4 adjusted and he wakes up after about a 4-5 hour stretch and then every two hours from there so about 3-4 wakes per night

 

[benstiller12]

@weeunc Mine is 4 adjusted too. Yes. Only two. Bad nights might be 3?

@benstiller12 A friend has a 4 year old who still wakes up 3-4 times a night

@benstiller12 My 10 month old wakes up usually 4-5 times a night. He only eats once during that time (1 bottle around 3am) but he’s still up a lot.

@777elihu Me reading this like “I wish.” My 5mo has reverted to the sleeping habits of a newborn.

@benstiller12 My 10 MO still wakes up at least once to be fed through the night.
I have no tips for you
I’m just ready for better sleep

 

[benstiller12]

@grace1102 I go to bed when LO goes to bed. So my husband feels like he’s been put aside. But I’m
Like. Well I need sleep hahahahaha

 

[allfleshisasgrass]

@benstiller12 I mean he has been put aside, y’all have a small baby to care for. You are in survival mode. If he’s complaining about not getting enough attention, he has too much free time on his hands and needs to step up

 

[benstiller12]

@allfleshisasgrass Okay that post of mine was obviously not meant to trash my husband. He does his fair share of part in taking care of me/ our child/ our house etc. I jaut don’t have enough energy for more than the essentials right now. That’s all I meant

 

[allfleshisasgrass]

@benstiller12 I’m not trashing your husband. My point is, since you have just enough energy for just the essentials, why is the same not true of him? You are so tired you go to bed with the baby (which I TOTALLY get) but the same isn’t true of him

 

[benstiller12]

@allfleshisasgrass He has like way too much coffee in my opinion haha and I like to sleep but he’s I get that though. Where I’m an early bird catches the worm kinda person he’s the night owl and very crabby in the mornings

 

[sonja1022]

@benstiller12 Lol my 7mo still wakes up 1-2x throughout the night and rarely sleeps through the night. Last night he slept for almost 7hrs though, thank goodness.

 

[godsgrace101]

@benstiller12 My LO is almost 10 months old and wakes 2-3 times at night (sometimes more if going through teething or growth spurt). I just recently got my period back when she turned 9 months old.

@benstiller12 Want to mention that babies waking up at night is normal and a protective measure against SIDS. They’re supposed to wake at night. If you’re getting 6 hour stretches out of her, that’s considered sleeping through the night. My 11 month old still wakes (I say wake but it’s really a groggy search for a boob since we cosleep) 2-3 times a night.

It’s normal and expected.

 

[benstiller12]

@crafty Thank you ‘ appreciate this so
Much

 

[gourmetchefgirl]

@benstiller12 My almost 18 month old will still wake at least 2 times a night (upto 8 on a bad night fml)

Starting to think maybe we should sleep train

 

[clarinetscore]

@benstiller12 My 8 month old wakes up 3-5 times from 8pm to 7am. Lol! We don’t sleep train. He needs the calories from nursing at night bc during the day he is usually too distracted to stay on boobs. (Yes ive tried feeding in dark room to no avail)

 

[benstiller12]

@clarinetscore I feel the distracted part lately A LOT
