Night feeds

[Bunchy09]

How long does your LO go between feeds at nigt?
Angus is 21 weeks & is going about 3 & a half hours at night, when he wakes he guzzles like he hasn't fed for days!!! He goes 2-3 hours during the day.

George goes about two hours or sometimes three, but the spaces between feeds seem to get shorter as the night goes on - and I get more tired!

On a good night it'll be 5-7 hours between her last evening feed and her next one but after that it's generally back to 1.5-2 hours which will continue throughout the day... (She's 11 weeks at the moment). She is quite frantic after that long sleep though!

Little I is 19 weeks old today and up until 12 weeks was sleeping from 11pm - 5/6am. At 12 weeks she hit a growth spurt and started waking at 3am, 5am and 7am or 2am, 4am and 6am before sleeping until 9/10am when she woke for the day. She's still doing that now.

I did start to give her her dummy at the 4/5am waking but it took her about 40 minutes to get back into a deep sleep where she didn't need it anymore so I spent that time popping her dummy back in when she dropped it out and by the time she was fast asleep I was wide awake. I gave that up a few nights ago and have been bf her at that waking again, just because it takes 10 minutes and we both go straight back to sleep again.

During the day she's now going about every 2.5-3 hours between feeds and each one lasts about 5-10 minutes depending on whether we're at home or out somewhere.

Glad to know I'm not the only one. My little girl is only 6 days old and she's been doing this for 2 days now, it's pretty exhausting when all I want to do is sleep. Luckily it's just right before I've turned in for the night, and all that feeding allows me to sleep for at least 3 hrs before she needs to eat again.

Its up and down but the last week its been from 9 he'll sleep through til 3ish then go back to his usual every 3-4 hours. I guess I'm luckier than I thought! he does a massive long cluster feed before bed though.
