It is suggested that by 6-8 months, a baby should be capable of being done with night feedings. This is because he/she is able to get sufficient calories needed during the day to get through five or six hours at night. While some babies may simply wean off from night feedings on their own, others may continue with the feedings. Also, as a baby’s sleep mature, he/she may naturally wakes up after each sleep cycle. Hence, the frequent waking may not be related having to eat. Sometimes, a baby may simply want some comfort. Here are some tips on night-weaning: - start the process slowly and gradually: nurse baby for shorter period of time or give a smaller amount in the bottle. Prolong the intervals between feedings by patting and comforting the baby back to sleep. Gradually eliminate feedings sessions (one session at a time). - Ensure that baby gets plenty to eat during the day. - Offer extra feedings in the evenings. This will decrease the chances of baby waking up hungry in the middle of the night. - Try having another person to comfort baby when he/she cries at night. Seeing or smelling you may make your baby want to feed. For more information on night-weaning, you can refer to this article: http://www.babycenter.com/0_baby-sleep-training-night-weaning_1505721.bc

My son is 6+ months, and is still waking up for night feeds but however when my daughter was about his age, she never wakes up for her night feeds and I remembered clearly the only times she woke up was because of a high fever. I've tried what Hui Qun has suggested, but sometimes baby is just hungry like my son. He knows it's night time, he knows that it's time to sleep but milk is a must. What I do is prepare warm water in a flask, 3 canisters of milk powder and 3 empty bottles and placed them next to me. If he wakes up, it takes less than 3 minutes to prepare his milk and I get to dream feed him which means max 15 mins. It's not too bad for me, I still get to sleep and wake up early for work the next day.
