Re: nighttime feeding question
Are you BFing or FFing?
If I remember correctly, your LO was born a few weeks early right?
How has his weight gain been?
What are you trying to wean him off of? The 2 am feeding?
Are you waking him to eat or is he waking on his own? If he's waking on his own, he's probably legitimately hungry and I wouldn't try to cut that feeding out. He's only 3 weeks old! My DS is almost 4 months old and still eats during the night.

Re: nighttime feeding question
i think that is more up to him... when he starts sleeping through it, you dont have to worry about it anymore...

Re: nighttime feeding question
DS was the one to decide when we'd stop the night feedings. One night, he just didn't wake up for them anymore.

Re: nighttime feeding question
thanks! I wake him up to feed him- hes on formula. He is gaining about an ounce per day. Im afraid to let him sleep through the night but would like to start since i am already waking him up for his 2 am feeding.

If his weight gain is good, then I wouldn't wake him for the feeding! See how long he sleeps :)

ITA but he is still young. He will likely wake soon after 2 for food. My DD did not start going the entire night w/o a bottle until 2.5 months.
