My youngest is starting to sleep for longer and longer stretches at a time after his last feeding for the day. He's usually at 6 hours now, the other day he even went 7 hours. Now my problem is when he takes his last feeding. It's typically around 8 PM at night. So going 6 hours he's waking up at 2 AM, so I still don't really feel like I'm getting any sleep. I didn't have this problem with my oldest. When he was that age, his last feeding was usually at midnight and he'd get up at 6 AM. Anyone have suggestions for how I can get my youngest to take his last feeding later at night? I don't know if this has an impact, but he's bottle fed.

How old is your youngest? Your profile says 2 mos, but I don't know how current that is. If he's that young I think you're lucky he's only waking once a night! | ||

Yes, he's 2 months. I'm happy he's sleeping at least 6 hours, I just wish I could use that to my advantage and get 6 hours straight sleep as well. I'm just going off the experience of my other child and as I mentioned, he was about the same except, it was later at night, so I would get more hours of sleep at a time. Rather than a couple, wake up, feed, then a couple more.

You could try a dream feed and see if that helps.

I think I will try this tonight. I had never heard of this, but a quick google search later and it sounds like a great thing to try.

yay I would say at 2 months I wouldn't want to go more then 6 hours between feedings, that seems like a lot to me. Of course my child didn't sleep through the night till she was umm... well it was a month ago or so! lol SHe stopped nursing at night around a year though
