Anyone else still night feeding 9mo+?

Just curious and I'm not stressing about Clodagh 'still' BF twice a night at 9 months old, cos it just is what it is lol

But curious how many other Mama's are still doing it too? (I know at least one is lol you know who you are )

When I say 'night', I mean from whenever we can convince Clodagh it's time to go to bed after her 'last' BF of the day (that can be from 7pm- 9.30pm ) through to the morning. Generally it's midnight-ish and 4-ish. the midnight/1/2am feed, she's hungry. The 4am one I'm pretty sure is a combo of cold/habit (that's another story...she REFUSES to have any kind of covers on her. sigh )

Ooohhh she's a wee trick......  

*raises hand*

I'm still feeding my 19 month old at night.

This Mamma is Atleast once if not 3-4 times. Occasionally (very ) so sleeps right through. She never wakes at a specific time, I think it's more that she wakes frightened as she cries out in her sleep then needs a little comfort.

It's all good though, just means some nights I have to go to bed earlier than usual (which I should be doing tonight!)

Here too! I'd love to not be but he just isnt playing ball. Honestly when it comes to dropping feeds on the way to weaning I'd be choosing the night ones but James has other ideas

Its becoming a problem for me...I need to think about doing something....dunno what though...pray for him to sleep all night every night????

lol I didn't think I was the only one!  Just I've had a few well meaning ppl tell me Clodagh 'should' be sleeping through by now!  I feel like saying Wel yes that would be lovely but maybe you need to chat to HER about that!

It's not so bad if you can feed them adn they go straight back to sleep...what I sometimes struggle with is fdeeding then her refusal to go back to her cot. It's really hit and miss no matter how hard we try and leave her etc. Sigh.

Neither of mine have fed in the night that long. Jake was a great sleeper by 3 months (when he recovered from heart surgery) and only had a small patch of waking at about 5.5/6 months, then another around 14/15 months (not fed then though) and Morgan slept thru consistently by 5 weeks but wakes every now and then (and often between 5-6am), but will settle with the dummy which I'm trying to get rid of (hasn't been fed in the night for a while).
You could try a sleeping bag if shes getting cold? Or water if its thurst? (she may stop waking after a few nights if only water is on offer!)

Hugs to you all - broken sleep is torture!

My DD is only 2 months old, so I've no expectation of her to be sleeping through yet, but I was starting to struggle with her waking every couple of hours over night, especially when about half of the wakings seemed to be for comfort rather than because she was hungry. I've no problem getting up to feed my hungry darling, but sometimes I'd rather sleep than have to give her a cuddle every hour or so!
One night last week I turned the low-light lamp on in her room, and sat on the spare bed in there for a minute cos I was so tired, and she'd stopped grizzling and was cooing to herself. I woke up FIVE hours later

Turns out my little darling is scared of the dark! Since then she's had a night light, and for the most part, she only cries out for me if she's hungry. Which is still every 4 hours or so, but a huge improvement on 1-2 hourly!

Might be worth a try for those of you whose bubs need cuddles when they wake up. Now I still hear her wake, but she often has a wee coo and a happy chat to herself and then drifts back to sleep.

Michaela was 10mo when I stopped offering her night feeds.  I'd give her cuddles instead and after 3 days she decided it wasn't worth waking up for it anymore and slept through 7pm - 7am. 

Andrew is 8mo today and last week I decided to see if he could drop his 3am feed.  First by only feeding him for a couple of minutes before putting him to bed (did this for 3 nights) then by cuddling him instead of feeding.  Again after a few nights of cuddles he stopped waking for his 3am feed.  He still feeds at 10pm but I'm not ready to drop that one yet, it's my only quiet feed now.

Emmecat do you have a bedtime routine? Something that clearly tells Clodagh it's time to start winding down because she's going to bed shortly. 

We use ours for day and night sleeps.  Michaela was a nightmare to settle until we started employing it, Andrew didn't have a chance to try anything else because I stuck him in the routine as soon as he grew out of the constantly milk drunk new baby phase.
