Until what age did your little one eat at night? I'm wondering if mine sleeps poorly because he eats 2-3 times a night. Maybe it's time to offer water/compote? He's 1 year and 2 months old.
Вчера открыли баночку с булгуром и овощами (Фрутоняня), переложили в тарелку, малыш съел всего ложку…

So he'll wake up later, 2-3 times for water or compote. It's better not to substitute. Just remove it and that's it. But I think he's still little, maybe too early.

and will wake up more often from hunger. I never gave water at night. They'll eat as much as they need at night.
Feed them more densely at night.
Mine stopped eating at night around 2 years old.
Are you worried about formula?

Both were up to 1.3 [years old], I weaned my son... onto water, my daughter refused on her own... I think it's not necessary to drag out nighttime feeding.

My little one is 1.6 years old, and for almost a month now, he hasn't woken up at night. I give him formula before bed, and that's it. I'll be taking it away completely soon.

At your age, he ate about twice a day for sure and stopped around 2 years old. My older son stopped a little after 1 year old. Everyone is different.

My middle daughter refused formula at 8 months. Around the same time, I started giving her thick porridge or kefir at night. At first, she'd wake up at night, and I'd give her water. After about a week or a week and a half, she stopped fussing. Even now, at 1.4 years old, she always has a bottle of water/juice/kefir in her crib at night. She wakes up, drinks a little, and goes back to sleep.

Irina The porridge didn't help at night (
Yeah, I'll give her water or compote tonight instead

Inna My older ones ate a lot too and slept poorly at night. So I started wondering if it was about what they ate at night. I'm so tired of not getting enough sleep 🤣🙈

Marina This is my baby's bedtime drink, and they still wake up 2-3 more times during the night.

Katrin Totally, I'm starting to agree with that opinion too.

Oksana Kornienko No, of course not. I want to sleep properly. He's already sleeping poorly – whimpering for about two weeks now, and he also eats 2-3 times. And he wakes up at 6-7. Basically, I'm not sleeping properly at all.

Yuliya Aleksandrovna Yeah, I just thought maybe his tummy hurts from eating. My older ones didn't sleep well either, and they also ate at night until they were about 2 years old

Oksana Kornienko
Oksana Kornienko Aww, such a little one! They're still young and probably don't need to eat at night. My son, who was breastfed, slept almost all night. My daughter, who was formula-fed, woke up often. Maybe that makes a difference. How many months old is your baby? It's too early to wean them, and they'll likely refuse on their own when the time is right.

Oksana Kornienko My older ones also ate at night until about 2 years old, and didn't sleep very well either. That's why I thought, maybe his tummy hurts from eating at night. He's just been whimpering all night too. It's been about 2 weeks now. I just want to sleep sometimes 🙈

Looks like you're in the teething phase right now, so sleep isn't great either)

Irina Sometimes even Tylenol and Motrin don't help) I even wrote a post here, I don't know why she sleeps like this. The only thing is, we were discharged from the hospital two weeks ago after pneumonia. Maybe she's still recovering.

My older daughter dropped night feedings at 3 months. But she was gaining weight well without them. My middle child definitely ate at night until around two years old. After a year, it was just kefir.

Slept through the night from 7 months old. No water or compote needed.

Irina You really shouldn't do that. It's a terrible decision.

Oksana Kornienko Can I give something for tummy aches at night? Or maybe for teething or growth spurts?

Inga
Oksana Kornienko They won't wake up hungry at night; the body needs to rest then. Babies wake up to eat out of habit, not because they're actually hungry.

Inga No, I'm the one who weaned her.

I don't know about formula feeding specifically, we did breastfeeding, and I just finished weaning the other day. And lo and behold, the baby slept through the night! Before that, she might wake up 4 or 6 times a night.

I kept wondering if it was teething, if she was too cold, or too hot. Turns out it was just dependency! 😁😁

But you know, I didn't replace it with anything. After a year old, they definitely don't need anything at night.

Marina That's exactly how it was for us too! I even posted about it, saying he'd wake up 2-3 times asking for formula, but then he just stopped waking up on his own. Every baby is different!)
