Feed / Sleep habits?

Was just wondering how everyones LO were doing at night.

H is getting last feed at 1030 pm of 5 oz of ebm and sleeps for 5 hours. Was just wondering really if there is a massive diff between BF and FF babies as am thinking of switching night feed to formula and was hoping this would increase his sleep hours.

Thanks xx

Heya,
Seth is about the same, he has 4-5oz between 9-10 and will go for about 5-6 hrs then after another feed he'll go another 4.

Hiya, we started giving a formula feed at 10.30pm about a week ago. Have to say for us it hasn't made a huge difference in the length of time he will sleep. He has a BF at 6.30-7ish and then go up to bed, then has a FF at 10.30pm and usually wakes about 4hrs later for his next feed. Hoping this will get longer as he gets older!
Know that for some babies the FF gets them to go longer.

H has his last feed at around 7:45. He has 6oz of ff and then will sleep anywhere between 5hrs and 8hrs ...

Thanks we seem to be a bit hit and miss at the minute. Have tried the ff the last couple of nights . one night he went 10 til 7 the next woke at 1 , 2 , 3 grumpy and grisly before actually wanting food at 4. Think it will just be trial and error. Thanks for your advice x
