4 month old STILL waking up at night to eat.

I hate to say It but my son didn't STTN until he was 10 months !

I don't want to depress you, but Holly woke for a feed til she was almost 1! She was formula fed too. . .

Some babies are just quicker at getting sleeping than others. Mine didn't stop having a bottle in the night till about 20 months and up till 3 weeks ago (now 2 1/2) was waking at least 1x a night 4 out of 7 nights. Currently he's sleeping through which is a miracle!

But aliss is right - if you've got one of these babies you eventually realise that they are just taking alot longer to get there than other kids but they will get there. Some people's kids are still up 2 to 3 times a night up till 4 or 5 years old.

I'm just planning my revenge - lots of banging the hoover up against his bedroom door at 6am when he's a teenager!

Mine doesn't sleep through the night either. As well as a dream feed at 10.30, she is up 1 or 2 times during the night, then up for the day around 6. She teased me with 3 nights in a row of sleeping from her dream feed straight tgrough to 6.30 and i thought i had cracked it, but no, unfortunately not! Oh well, she'll do it when she is ready I suppose!

Katie started sleeping thru at 6 months when I began weaning.

Willow still wakes up. I dont really worry about it, they will sleep through when they are ready too

I give up now, my LO still doesn't STTN it can be from once to 3 times a night wanting milk, but is much worse when he's teething.

My DS must be quite a rare case but he didnt STTN till he turned 2!! Haha. I think its made me cope better with the sleepless nights now as i am already so used to waking up at least once anyway.

Some LO's will carry on waking up even when they don't 'need' to unfortunately, but it will stop at some point (hopefully soon)

4 months old and still waking every 2 hours at night here. I've gotten used to it.

at 11 months my LO doesnt sleep through every night. He woke me up the night before last at 1am, 2am, 7:30am. Last night he slept through from 9 til 8 when I had to wake him up so I could go to work. Its not consistent but you really treasure those nights when you have a good sleep

Mine did til 18 months, x

Some dont sleep through til 1 year +.
I don't think their should be any age that they are 'expected' to be sleeping through. 4 months is so young still.Sophia is 4 months and wakes once a night still. At 4am. Im sure the majority of them do at this age. When your LO is ready,they will sleep through.

its normal! my lo didnt start sttn until she was nine months, and up until then still ate at night. it wasnt till i moved her out of my room and out of bed that she started sttn! good luck!

My oldest has only just started sleeping through the night and he is 2! They do eventually though, we've had to let him cry it out a few times although i think this isnt recommended till after 6 months...hope it hsppens soon for you x x x

My 9.5 month old still has 2 feeds a night. Its normal

4 months old and still waking every 2 hours at night here. I've gotten used to it.

God bless you. My LO wakes up once, sometimes twice and I'm complaining! I would go crazy if it were every 2 hours. I've had a few of those nights, but they're very rare (thank goodness!)

 

[AllisonH]

Thanks for the overwheming replies ladies. It makes me feel much better. Like I said before, so many moms brag about their LO STTN at an early age, that I thought it wasn't normal for my guy to still be waking...but it sounds like he is right on track. Thanks again!!

My 4 month old is still waking up once (usually at 2am) to eat. I thought by now he'd be sleeping through the night. I try to get him really full when I put him down and gave up on the 'dream feeds." His last feed is usually around 7:30-8:00pm and then I put him down. But without fail, he wakes up at 2pm to eat every night. SIGH...

Anyone else having this issue?

Sleeping from 8pm-2pm is great, sleeping for 5hrs straight is considered sleeping through the night. Babies have their own rhythms and they don't always go by what the books tell you. If he wakes up and he's hungry just feed him and he'll sleep through soon enough. My son has been sleeping through the night since 11 months and to tell you the truth I miss those twilight nursings.
