How to stop your baby waking at night for a milk feed

Emily, 1 day

I think the advice you've all asked for shows that the advice above is a lot easier said than done! I was in the same position as you. I did get some good advice from www.sleepytot.com which was free. And I also had to be very strong to change things. It's never as easy as the experts make it sound. LOL.

My baby is two years old and he is still night feeding at 2am and 6am.I know this is not normal and i have made attempts to get him out of this habit, such as feeding him water only when he wakes; trying to put him back to bed; feeding him dinner before bed; feeding him more meals during the day, but he will keep crying and crying until i feed him milk.The longest period of time he has cried during these attempts is about 40mins. Neighbors were starting to complain and so were housemates. I have been told he will grow out of this, but he is TWO years old and hasn't made any progress. Two years of broken sleep is extremely exhausting and my body is starting to act out from sleep deprivation. What can I do to stop him waking?

My baby is 22 weeks and still has not slept through the night. He usually goes to bed around 9.30pm-10pm, however he is awake again about 12.30am-1am and then again 3.30am-4am. The only way he will go back to sleep is to have some milk. I have tried just giving him a soother and a cuddle but to no avail. Please help!

my previous 2 children woke once a night until they were 18 months and old enough to be 'ignored' when requesting a night feed!! My third now sleeps through the night (9pm-7am) at 12 weeks!! I didnt speak to him, change him or make a fuss at night feeds and I think he must have got the hint! Most children do stop waking once you start weaning. There are pros to waking during the night though - they will have a longer nap during the day - my baby now sleeps for a max of 30minutes during the day just long enough for me to grab lunch or a shower! - the other 2 children slept for 1 hour minimum ...

My baby is 12 weeks old and has a bottle at 10.30-11.00pm then at around 3.00am and wakes at 6.30-7.30 in the morning. Do you have any surgestions on how to get her to miss the 3.00am feed?

how old is the baby? if he wakes at 10 give him his feed in his room togeher quite give him the bottle dont talk to him or play with him once he finishes his feed put him back in his cotand walk out the room then he will come to understanding that this is night time and everyone is asleep and dont want to play to get will sleep right though also i know this sounds strange but if u dont change his nappy then he will know the differences between day and night
