Sorry, haven't read all the posts but I always fed Jack when he woke. As someone else mentioned I couldn't be bothered with tantrums in the middle of the night and feeding was the easiest and fastest 9/10 times, plus I was always worried about misreading his signs and not feeding him when he was hungry. I suppose you do what works best for you both.

Oh, and Jack is 1 tomorrow and has never slept through!! (unless you go by the official definition of 5 straight hours and then sometimes he sleeps through). Mainly it's his teeth that wake him now]]> Wed, 23 Apr 2008 19:16:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16596&PID=364373&title=sleeping-through#364373 <![CDATA[Sleeping Through : 3 mnths - i would still stand...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16596&PID=364309&title=sleeping-through#364309 Author: Bizzy

The tickers go by calendar months, not 4 week months. So tomorrow is the 24th of April, she was born on the 24th of January - so that's 3 months

Blimey issy only wakes twice a night to feed at two months, that's really good.!

Cath slept through from 5 months old, not a day earlier, and she was always hungry when she cried at night.

So from the above, i would be in the feed her camp.]]> Wed, 23 Apr 2008 15:13:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16596&PID=364157&title=sleeping-through#364157 <![CDATA[Sleeping Through : I agree.

I agree. For us resettling was easier, because if we fed her she would take ages to bring up wind and AGGGGES 2 go back to sleep but just by changing rewrapping and putting back in bed the process was only about 10mins tops.

I stopped night feeding at about 10 weeks she would sleep right through on and off from 6 weeks but after she was 10 weeks we got really tough and didnt offer milk unless we could see she was obviously hungry which wasnt often. I would pick her up, change her nappy, re-wrap and put her back in bed just rocking the bassinet a bit. After a few times doing that she was fine and hasnt woken for feeds since. Sometimes I woulod just let her grizzle a bit and she would just doze off. We have had a particularly easy baby I guess but plunket told me I needed to get it sorted while she was very young because the habit is harder to break the older they get and I guess it worked]]> Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:35:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16596&PID=364121&title=sleeping-through#364121 <![CDATA[Sleeping Through : When Hannah was about 9 weeks...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16596&PID=364059&title=sleeping-through#364059 Author: aimeejoy

When Hannah was about 9 weeks old she was only feeding once in the night and she was beginning to only have a tiny feed at 7am. So I figured she obviously didnt NEED her middle of the night feed and gave her some water first - she soon stopped waking for the water and began having a proper feed at a more sociable hour.

Greer is 10 weeks now and quite a bit smaller than Hannah was, and putting on weight a lot slower so I'm not pushing it yet. I get her up for a quick feed when I go to bed, then she wakes about 3am then 7am. She is starting to take smaller feeds at 7 so may try either water or Peachey's idea, but at the moment its so easy and quick just to feed and straight back to sleep, rather than getting up a few times to resettle! ]]> Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:43:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16596&PID=364059&title=sleeping-through#364059 <![CDATA[Sleeping Through : Issy is in our room but I only...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16596&PID=364039&title=sleeping-through#364039 Author: lilfatty

We dreamfeed at 10.30, and Jack sleeps through till about 7.30-8ish. I have heard him a couple of times but just wait for him to stop talking and go back to sleep. He did start waking for feeds a couple of weeks ago and now has to have 2 feeds of baby rice a day to get him to sleep at night (hungry boy!) and unless he's having a really bad day with teething, he sleeps through.

Do you have the baby in your room? Is she actually crying or just making noises? Cos you know that if she's just making noises it could be part of her active sleep cycle? They have active and inactive parts. We had to move Jack out at 6 weeks as he makes so much noise when sleeping I thought I needed to feed him constantly but he was just dreaming or talking to his 'friends']]> Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:21:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16596&PID=364032&title=sleeping-through#364032 <![CDATA[Sleeping Through : Hmmm that&#039;s interesting.

Hmmm that's interesting.

Hannah woke at 1:20 this morning and I couldn't be fagged feeding her (which I feel TERRIBLE now that I think about it), so I re-wrapped her and put her dummy in. ONLY because she normally sleeps through until 4/5. And if I DO feed her at 1:30/2 (as I have done in the past, without even realising she may be awake be cause something other than hunger woke her) she STILL wakes at 4/5 for a feed. So, after last night, I would recommend trying to re-settle.
I like peachy's advice

lilfatty, Lauren started sleeping through from 8 weeks and this is how I got her to sleep through on advice from Plunket I might add! When she woke I would offer the dummy first, then she would resettled and went back to sleep straight away. If she woke within an hour of the resettling I would feed her then pop her back to bed, as obviously that indicated to me she may have woken from hunger.

Each night I stretched her out an extra hour longer ie: if she woke at 1am, I would resettler her, then she may wake at 2am, so I would feed her. I would do this for a couple of nights and then hopefully she will automatically stretch herself to 2am, then resettle her, she may then wake at 3am, so then feed and so on.

Kylah only just started sleeping through at 3 months, Shell in our August mums thread, wrote out a paraghraph of a book she was ready and it went something along the lines of "if your baby is over 10lb then they can sleep through or something like that, and instead of trying a feed first try the dummy first'

I dont that the first night, she went back to sleep and woke in the morning, the 2nd night she slept through and has ever since.

Hrmmmm... at that early age I'd still probably feed through the night. I'm not sure what I'd consider the 'cut off' point but I think a 2month old isn't exactly waking for fun!

Although you could try resettling before feeding - totally up to you!]]> Wed, 23 Apr 2008 11:47:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16596&PID=363915&title=sleeping-through#363915 <![CDATA[Sleeping Through : hehe thanks ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16596&PID=363911&title=sleeping-through#363911 Author: LittleBug

Good question, I want to know too!

I'm always to scared to try re-wrapping or giving the dummy back, because I know if I give her a quick feed she will go back to sleep pretty quick, and I can't be bothered with tantrums at that time of night but I really want to know if it will work, because I've heard that after a while of doing it, they will stop waking at that time and sleep through?]]> Wed, 23 Apr 2008 11:36:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16596&PID=363897&title=sleeping-through#363897 <![CDATA[Sleeping Through : When talking about sleeping through...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16596&PID=363892&title=sleeping-through#363892 Author: lilfatty

When talking about sleeping through the night I have heard people on these forums say things like ....

  • I rewrapped and they went back to sleep
  • I popped a dummy in and they went back to sleep

or variations of the above statements

What Im confuddled about is ... I always thought Issy woke twice during the night (always twice like clockwork) because she is hungry (and she does drink milk when offered the boob) .. but do you try the above things first?  Then if that doesnt work feed?
