Last Bottle vs. Bedtime
What time to you give you baby his/her last feeding and what time is bedtime?
I try to have her last bottle or nursing really close to bedtime in hopes that she won't wake up. So far not working but I am still not thinking she's waking from hunger.

We give her last bottle around 7:30 and she goes to bed immediately after. She always wakes anywhere from 2 - 4 a.m. for a bottle.

How old is she?
Maybe she is hungry and her previous sleeping through the night was just a fluke.
Does she go right back to sleep after the bottle?

We feed Alex around 6:30/7pm and she's out within 15 minutes. Wakes up around 12am, and then again around 3am.

Re: Last Bottle vs. Bedtime
Antonio who is 5 months had his last bottle around 8:30. Sometimes he falls asleep on the bottle. Then he usually gets up around 1:30 and then 5-6. However some nights he still gets up every three hours.
The GI told us if he gets up and falls asleep on the bottle after an ounce then he just wants to be held. However Antonio wakes up finishes a 4 ounce bottle in a minute and sometimes cries for more. When I told her this she said he is definetly HUNGRY!
I have tried increasing his bottle amount through the day but he stops at 4 ounces! He even has cereal in his bottles and eats a big bowl of cereal during the day.

Jake has dinner (a jar of veggies) and his last bottle at 6:30. He goes to bed immediately after - approximately 7pm.
Since your daughter was sleeping through the night before, I think you are probably right and it's probably not hunger that is waking her up.

Those are just about Miranda's waking times. I am going to start feeding her again and see if that gives us longer sleep stretches.

I start Bfing him about 9pm and he is usually sleeping by about 9:30-10:00 sometimes maybe a little later. He then sleeps through the night until anywhere between 8am-9:30.

Our doctor recommended that we start "ignoring" for one of the feeds, but I'm going to "ignore" his advice because so far, it seems that she genuinely IS hungry. She'll eat at least 4 ounces each time she wakes up. Like Miranda, Alex used to sleep 8 hours through the night, but it stopped out of nowhere. I'm not much help, I know, but I wanted to let you know you're not the only one!
