Hellobee Boards Topic: When did your baby drop to one nighttime feeding?

Six to eight weeks were terrible. DD dropped to one feeding for about a month at three months. She went back to 2-3 at four months. At five months she usually wakes up twice. BUT she eats so much faster now. It's much better than it was at six weeks!

I think around 2 months? Maybe closer to 3? One of those things that you forget about once you're not dealing with anymore, probably in part because of the sleep deprivation.

Somewhere between 12 and 13 months....for the most part.

I think we may have been at 2 feedings after 1-2months? I wish I could temember but we were at two for awhile and at 1 by month 3 when I went back to work because I temembet thinking I could do one wake up.

Last night was the first time she's only woken to eat once. She is 13 weeks old today. Still remains to be seen whether it will continue (fingers crossed!) or whether it was just a fluke.

LO is 7 months and I think we stopped feeding in the middle of the night last month?!

Around seven weeks. She night weaned at eleven weeks, then picked up a feed at six months and lost it again fairly soon after that.

She dropped to 1 feeding for about a week at 3.5 months, and now at 6 months we're sleep training, and she's down to 1 feeding/waking.

LO just turned four weeks yesterday and for the past two nights, we've only had one feed at night. Hoping this continues! I can't remember when DD1 went to one feed overnight but she started sleeping 12 hrs through the night, no wake ups, at 2.5 months.

@Ree723: Holy crap you make good sleepers! lol

DS is 3.5 months and we have 2 or 3 wake ups, but 5 on really bad nights. Right now I'm trying to slowly night wean him by shortening the duration of his feeds every few days. Right now I'm at 8 minutes. I'm hoping when we get down to under 5 minutes he starts dropping them on his own.

With D1, it was at 8 months. D2 is almost 5 months and mostly has 2 but sometimes 1.

Around 10 weeks

Two until 9 months.

You are only having 3 feedings at 6 weeks??? I just looked back at my records and we had 4-5 at that age. At six months we're down to 2-3 a night still. One time a night....wow, I can only dream.

At 6 months and a 12 hr night we are at 2-3. I'd say we're still several months out from 1 feeding.

Wow? There is so much variability! Guess I have no clue what to expect!

@Grace: we just went down from 4 to 3 two nights ago. Not sure how long that will last. I have been doing one at 11ish, 2ish, and 5ish. All the "schedules" I read (moms on call, sample easy routines) say we should be at one feeding a night now! I am doing on demand rather than schedules, but I am surprised at what the sample schedules say.

LO is 7 months old. She occasionally will have only 1 wakeup to nurse, but most of the time it's still 2 :(

Around 3-4 months for my LO.

@ShootingStar: Lol, yeah, they take after me, I love my sleep! DH is a super finicky sleeper (needs silence, complete darkness, right temp, and even then he still struggles sometimes). I told him if our children inherited his crappy sleep habits, he would be the one waking up with them fourteen times a night! So far so good :-)

Maybe 7-8 weeks? There were of course regressions but by and large he only woke up once a night after that. No feedings after 8 or 9 months and often after 4 months. But he also only slept 10 hrs overnight until 1 year.
