Hi,
My ds2 is 3.5 months and up until having his vaccinations at 3 months and hitting the growth spurt he was only waking once for a feed at night. I happily fed him more frequently throughout the growth spurt in order to help increase my supply and he was having three feeds each night. These three feeds have stuck around for two weeks however. So I was wondering what the norm is for ebf babies at this age? Could he still need 3 feeds each night? My ds1 was formula fed at night and only had one night feed for a long time so this is new territory for me! I am more than happy to feed him if that's what he needs but am very wary of it becoming a habit when we have done so well with him not having any props!

I think 3 times over night for a 3 months old is perfectly normal. sometimes they start waking more often when they become older, you could always sleep train then if needed.

My LO is 11 weeks and still needs 3 night feedings. Only twice since he was born did he 'sleep through the night'. Once for 5 hours and once for 7 hours.
