Hungry milk only before bedtime

[chele]

Have you tried a dream feed instead? its not for everyone but worked great for us.
He goes to bed at 8 has a dream feed at 12 and is fine then till 8am so esentialy sleeps through from 8-8 (you can work the feeding times around to suit yourself)

I've tried dreamfeed quite a few times and it never worked. He'd always still wake up at the same time.

Thanks for all your replies ladies
I still haven't decided yet and am going to see what happens the next week or so. Last night he was up at 1am so am confused as to how come he can sleep sometimes til 5am and then others be up at 1am?!

Just saw this reply hun. When kacey was 6 weeks old she started sleeping 12 hours a night. But we noticed that she sometimes slept 12 hours and sometimes woke at about 4am. She would have couple of oz then sleep till 8am. We wondered why sometimes she would wake up and other times not. Especially as she wasnt hungry. We then noticed that when she woke up it was cause she had kicked her blankets off and was cold. The nights she slept through she still had her blankets on. We got her a baby sleeping bag and i can now count on one hand the amount of times she has woke up since and she in almost 18 weeks old. She was born in march so im assuming your baby isnt cold however your baby could be waking due to some other discomfort. Maybe worth looking into. Kacey slept 12 hours before hungry baby so its not always about hunger. When she dropped one night feed at 5 weeks so was goinmg about 7-3am then till 730am i did give her an extra feed during the day as i was worried that she wasnt getting enough milk. I even tried waking her at night but she just fall asleep agagin. So i do wonder if the extra day feed was filling her up at night.

Last night again proved to me that I don't think his 1am waking is due to hunger. He took just 90ml and fell asleep practically on the bottle again. But it's the only way I can make him go to sleep, rocking him, dummy etc just don't make him go back to sleep.
Max already is in a sleeping bag with a blanket over to keep him in position (he's on a reflux wedge and without a blanket holding him in he ends up sideways)
Sometimes it just doesn't matter how much he has in the day as to how he sleeps at night. I thought it would but it just doesn't. Some days he hardly has anything all day and sleeps through and others he wakes up. There's just no apparent pattern
