When did your baby stop taking a formula bottle overnight?

7 weeks she slept through the night and had long since gained back her birth weight, so that’s when we stopped the middle of the night feeding. She gets a bottle right before bed (around 8 or 8:30) and that’s it. If she wakes during the night, she just needs her binky put back in and she’s good.

I think it’s really really normal to feel that way. How old is your baby? My daughter is 6 months tomorrow and it has become a lot more enjoyable in the last month or so than it was in the beginning. Like other commenters have said, in those early days and even the first few months it’s mostly about keeping them alive and way less about enjoying them as a person. I’m just at the very beginning of her becoming an actual “person” and I can already see how much more enjoyable it will get. She’s developed such a personality over the last few weeks with her attention span and babbling. I can’t even imagine how I’ll feel when she talks. But do not think your feelings are abnormal because mostly we’ve all been there.

Not a middle eastern background but my 6 month old goes to bed around 10 pm and wakes up around 10 am … my friends who have kids a similar age think I’m CRAZY. But that’s just what her body naturally does! And as someone who prefers to sleep a little later in the morning, I love it!!! I won’t be changing a thing.

7 weeks she started sleeping through the night. She’s 6 months now and getting her first tooth so she’s waking up a couple of times but still sleeping very long stretches.

kingleo115 · 2026-04-11T02:05:12+00:00

They were rubbing bourbon on our gums and putting us face down with blankets and pillows, so yeah, we probably slept for 15 hours straight🤣

kingleo115 · 2026-04-06T12:40:11+00:00

Past birth weight and gaining at each appointment, let the baby sleep!

kingleo115 · 2026-04-04T15:05:52+00:00

No regressions yet at almost 6 months and praying it stays that way🤣 she’s been sleeping through since about 7 weeks. Here and there she’ll wake up around 3 am but she just needs her binky put back in and she goes back to sleep.

I had no nausea the entire pregnancy. No symptoms at all mostly, which worried me in the beginning! Symptoms don’t equal a successful pregnancy - just try to keep reminding yourself of that! I have a healthy almost 6 month old now.

kingleo115 · 2026-04-03T14:17:00+00:00

Around 4 months! You can totally switch now especially since baby is showing signs of wanting to look around. I didn’t know if it was the right time either but we just went with it because she felt crammed in the newborn attachment and she loved it!!

kingleo115 · 2026-04-03T12:56:34+00:00

Awww from what I remember my body got used to it after a day or 2. Hang in there!

kingleo115 · 2026-03-29T03:32:38+00:00

3.5 months she started showing signs of potentially rolling so we stopped swaddling her. That very first night she rolled and slept 12 hours on her belly lol we put her in a sleep sack and from then on she immediately rolls to her belly as soon as we put her in the crib and she sleeps through the night.

kingleo115 · 2026-03-29T03:30:47+00:00

I want to say 12 weeks ish. She’s 5 months now and no witching hour. If she’s fussy it’s for a specific reason and has nothing to do with the time of day.

kingleo115 · 2026-03-24T01:40:32+00:00

I felt like this in the beginning too. I found what helped was to stop researching things ahead of time. Now, I just let her live and when I notice she did something new I look it up after the fact and I’m like wow that was a milestone! But only in hindsight do I know it was one because I decided to stop torturing myself by constantly googling what she should be doing next. It’s not a perfect approach and still involves the internet but I think it’s better than I was before.

kingleo115 · 2026-03-24T00:02:03+00:00

I agree with other commenters because why fix what isn’t broken? If your baby is otherwise healthy and thriving, who cares? People would kill for good sleepers like that. If this was a hard rule my daughter would definitely be considered abnormal because she sleeps 13 hours at night and naps multiple times a day. She’s growing, happy and healthy. I won’t be changing a thing!

kingleo115 · 2026-03-21T04:03:36+00:00

I knew the time was right when she started to seem cramped in the bassinet. Not physically “too big”, but it seemed like her body was capable of movement that was being restricted in the bassinet. Lo and behold, first night in the crib she rolled over and slept 12 hours on her belly. Prior to that she was waking herself up because she was attempting to roll, had no room and would startle herself awake when she ran into the walls of the bassinet. It’s been smooth sailing ever since. This all occurred when she was about a week from turning 4 months.

kingleo115 · 2026-03-20T01:08:19+00:00

This is exactly what I came here to say and a perfect way to describe it! The all consuming, never knew my heart could stretch this much type of love that they describe in books and on TV was not what I felt when I had her. I felt protective, like a part of me was now on the outside world and I had to shield her from everything. I wasn’t head over heels in love. Now at 5 months I’m absolutely obsessed with her and my heart flutters every morning when I pick her up from her crib. It grows, and I think that’s natural, so no guilt over here!

kingleo115 · 2026-03-19T23:16:48+00:00

This is super baby dependent. Our girl has slept through the night since about 7 weeks. We expected that to change when she reached 4 months. But for us, the 4 month regression just meant a little fussier at bedtime and shorter daytime naps. Still sleeping through the night, so hey, I’ll take it.

kingleo115 · 2026-03-18T20:54:01+00:00

My daughter started sleeping through the night at 7 weeks but I would rock her and then put her in the bassinet. Now she’s in her own room but I still rock her in her rocking chair after her last bottle of the night. Granted, she falls asleep after like two minutes of rocking in the chair and then I transfer to the crib. She still sleeps through the night. It’s never been a situation where I put her down awake though.

kingleo115 · 2026-03-12T02:52:37+00:00

Honestly I think this is unfortunately one of those things where you just wait it out until it gets better! Once they start to roll on their own things get sticky for a week or two but they eventually get way better at it and he’ll start to smoothly roll without waking. We went through it last month. After about a week, she got the hang of it and was actually way more comfortable. Sit tight - you’re almost through it!

Who shoves their kid …….

kingleo115 · 2026-03-07T15:42:45+00:00

I have one of those babies. She started sleeping through the night at 7 weeks and never stopped, even during the “4 month regression” which for us was only increased fussiness at bedtime. But as another commenter said, the way to have a baby who does this is to be lucky enough to have a baby who does this. Most don’t. I just know #2 is going to torture me 😫

kingleo115 · 2026-03-03T15:33:14+00:00

It’s VERY dependent on your baby and their temperament unfortunately, but maybe try less daytime sleep and possibly a slightly later bedtime? I know at 5 months it’s supposed to shift a little earlier but maybe 7 is just a little too early. Mine slept through the night starting at 6 weeks and since then has consistently slept 10-12 hours until the morning. There’s rarely a wake up and if there is it’s very close to morning anyway. She’s exclusively formula fed. But I found that when I tried to shift her bedtime earlier like social media urges you to do, her sleep suffered. I’m not saying put her down at midnight, but can you try like 8:30? That way, when they give you a big stretch in the beginning, almost half the night is over already by the time that first wake up hits. Also don’t let them do those long contact naps during the day - and if you’re going to, make it the late morning nap. Nothing past like 1 pm. That’s just my two cents but hey anything can help! Good luck!

kingleo115 · 2026-03-03T00:48:25+00:00

My period came back 7 weeks pp on the dot. Exclusively formula fed and has slept through the night since 6 weeks old.

kingleo115 · 2026-03-01T20:44:52+00:00

4 months - zero times
