Sleeping at night..how long?
Just wondering if anyone's LO's are sleeping through the night..? We are nearing the 3 month mark (2 months adjusted) and I think we are close they will eat at 6PM and usually not wake to eat until 2-230AM...all of them! Does anyone "top off" your LO before bed..if so, how much do you give? I'm thinking this may get them all the way to 6/7AM but don't know how much to feed. I hate wasting formula as we go through almost a gallon a day.

I feed the baby around 8pm. After that, I put her upstairs in her cradle or crib.
Before dh goes to bed, he'll feed her one last time, (usually 12am). She's usually good until somewhere around 6 or 7am. Some days she's lasted until 9am, but that was several weeks ago. She's 3mo now. |

Mine are just over 4 months (if we adjusted they'd be just over 2 months).
We do a bath then rice cereal and a warm 4-5oz bottle anywhere between 7-8:30 (depending on the daytime feeds). They sleep until 3-4am when we give another bottle and they sleep till 6 or 7. During the day we get 3 hours in between bottles and at night anywhere from 5-7 hours - mostly 5!! A friend of mine (who also has trips!) recommended the "dream feed" where you give them a bottle just before you go to bed while they're asleep. That doesn't work for us as they fight every ounce of milk and if they're sleeping, I don't want to wake them for anything!!!!

My little guy will be 3 months tomorrow. Up until this week he was going down around 10pm and then sleeping until 5am when we have to wake him to get him ready to go to daycare. After we dress and feed him he falls back to sleep and sleeps until after I drop him off. However this week he has gone back to his waking up at 2am for a bottle.
I've tried topping him off, but if he isn't hungry he just refuses to eat. If I think he may be hungry and it hasn't been that long since his previous bottle, I just make a 2oz bottle so that way I don't waste a whole one. Dawn |

Andrew goes down around 8:30 and then most nights sleeps until 4:30ish. However, sometimes he sleeps all the way until morning (6-6:30). So, I guess he's sleeping pretty well. He's 2 and a half months old. We do the standard night routine of bath, story, bottle and then bed.
It'll be interesting to see how his routine changes when I start back to work next month. |

We do an 8:30-9pm feeding as the last feeding before bed time, put them in their cribs, turn their fish tanks on in each crib, then they sleep until 4am. Its like clockwork every day. Then I feed them, and they fall back asleep until 7-8am.

It never fails..I have at least one that will wake up at night, just for me to put him back to sleep...They are going from their last feeding at 6/7 now until 6..my first DS is a thumb sucker..these guys are trying and I honestly hope they get it..it would make sleeping and waking at night so much easier!!!
