Do they go through the night???
Hi All
Just wondering if your lo's sleep through yet...?
Zac has always been good at night ()never wking more than once) but still he still wakes for a small bottle between 4 and 5am ish... (he goes to bed between 7 - 7.30pm)... I'm just wondering how to drop this night feed as as you can see it is pretty late - this morning for example it was 5.40 by the time I crawled back to bed so he is almost there...
I only give between him a small bottle (about 2-3oz at night when he usually has 6 or 7) which he doesn't like as would clearly rather have more but after a few minutes of moaning he nods off again! I have tried giving water instead but nothing seems to make him want to drop this feed altogether... will he just eek it out gradually or will he just stop waking all of a sudden?!
Also - I know they say not to change a nappy in the night if you can help it but the one time I left it he had leaked by morning (he must pee all night long!) - I use huggies size 2's and love them most of the time but they just don't last all niht... any tips for this too?

Tyler goes to bed about 8 then wakes at about 2 for a feed then goes straight bk down till about 7.
Does Zac have a dummy? Maybe you could try giving him his dummy when he wakes instead of milk but then you may find he wakes earlier for a feed. If not he may wake as he is genuinly hungry and needs that feed, dont worry he'll soon stop in his own time.
As for nappies I was having the same problem and now I put Tyler in size 3s at night and its worked for us!! No more leaks.
Why dont you put this post in the BABY forum you might find mums with older babies have some advice.
Love to u both

With regards to the nappies, have you tried pampers baby dry? I think they are fab, no leaks and no smells even after 11 hours! Tammi & Ashton xxx

Sorry to gloat (sp). xxx
keep it up boys!
Charisma is on 5oz feeds every four hours like clockwork now, so I am up at 2am and then again at 6am. OH just sleeps through it , could kick him sometimes !!
I did read that they won't sleep through the night until they are weaned, so three more months before that happens then !!
I go to bed at 9pm, which is a bit sad but I find that I have to otherwise I'm really cranky if I have not had enough sleep.
If she starts to stir and I know she's not due a feed then I will give her a dummy and rock the moses basket a bit and that seems to work sometimes.

i have also heard that they wont def sleep through until they're weaned. My mate keeps saying her lo is sleeping through but she only goes bed at 11 so technically she's not sleeping through.
