This isn't a flame, but as a BTDT mom of a FF baby, I don't see how you can not feed on demand....if my child is hungry, I am goingto feed himChat Icon

Also, I know my hospital did NOT wake my DS to eat, they fed on demand during the night and during the day he was in the room with me and I fed him when he was hungry...



My hospital feeds at scheduled times...not on demand. I guess all hospitals are different.

It's very easy to not feed on demand when they are on a schedule. They don't really get hungry until their scheduled time. When they start to cry/get hungry before their scheduled time, that is when you up their ounces because they are obviously getting hungry sooner and that's a sure sign they need to eat more.

I respect everyone's decisions on how to feed their babies...like I said I am just defending the mom's of babies who STTN. They work hard to get there and seem to be called lucky or exceptions on these boards. They get no praise for their hard work on scheduling their babies and it working.



not a flame,, just very curious on how to do this? When my ds wakes to eat..how do you put them off... and is that a good thing to do. I know you say to feed them more at their feedings but you cant force formula if he doesn't want anymore? So how do you make him eat more to stay satiated longer? Just curious? thanks

I didn't really feed on demand - they were on a schedule of eating every 3 hours. And they did not sleep through the night.

I'm sorry, and not flaming, but I think STTN at a young age is not due to regimented routine, but because of luck.

And I'm also not sure I understand your thinking. If your baby who is on a schedule wakes 3 or 4 hours after the bedtime feeding at 6,8,10 wks old, what do you do?

I'm fairly new to these boards and have been afraid to post that I don't believe in feeding on demand since that seems the norm around here. Any baby I know that is fed on demand does not STTN. The babies I know that STTN at a young age are all on very strict, woken to feed schedules. Seems to work nicely for a lot of people. That's what they do in the hospital when your baby is just a few days old...you wake to feed them at the scheduled times.

Kate - that's how I did it with Lily...we didn't really feed on demand because we created a schedule for her early on. It started so that we could work to unmix up her days and nights, and it morphed into a feeding schedule. Her life ( and our's) revolved around her feeding schedule. Every 3 hours, no matter if she was awake or asleep, she'd eat. Starting at about 3 weeks old.
So she never really had a chance to be hungry in between because she was eating regularly throughout the day. And if she did, we would feed her a little earlier, rather than make her go hungry for the sake of the schedule.
She slept through the night starting at 6 weeks. Granted, she'd start off her night in the swing, but we'd transfer her from there to the bassinet or the crib, and she'd stay asleep until the morning.

I think her sleeping was due to a combination of things.....my sleeping genes, luck, and the feeding schedule.

Yeah...

The way I see it feeding on demand/a schedule aren't that different when you have a tiny baby. No matter what, they are going to need to eat after a certain amount of time...

I know that with C3, he basically ate every 3 hours, but sometimes a little earlier and sometimes a little later, but he woke at night. For HIM, I don't think that if I had stuck to something it would have made that much of a difference.....but I don't know because we didn't do it, KWIM?

I did not wake my child in the hospital to eat, they woke when they were hungry...no flames but I just did not agree with that point

my dd was fed on demand and STTN at 5 weeks, my ds is fed on demand and he NORMALLY sleeps from 8pm-4-5am (he is almost 4 months)

I did not wake my babies in the hospital to eat either. They ate when they were hungry, which was about every 2-3 hours.

Thank you, this is my question also. We woke to feed for the first three weeks, soon they fell into a loose schedule of eating every three hours so now I feed on demand. But they eat every three hours, sometimes four hours, 24 hours a day!

No throwing flames at me please Chat Icon ...but I'm going to defend all mom's of babies who do STTN at 8 weeks old. I don't believe they are some special exception. I know MANY babies who have STTN since 8 weeks old - I know a handful who did it even sooner. One in particular I know would sleep from 10pm...in his non-vibrating bassinet...until 10am at 2 weeks old. Honestly the mother would have to wake him at 10am to feed him.
All of these babies I am speaking of were all on very strict schedules from the moment they were brought home from the hospital. They were not fed on demand as I see a lot on these boards. They were woken to feed at their scheduled time during the day.

I'm fairly new to these boards and have been afraid to post that I don't believe in feeding on demand since that seems the norm around here. Any baby I know that is fed on demand does not STTN. The babies I know that STTN at a young age are all on very strict, woken to feed schedules. Seems to work nicely for a lot of people. That's what they do in the hospital when your baby is just a few days old...you wake to feed them at the scheduled times.

I should mention I am speaking of FF babies only. I do understand BF babies need to eat more often and I don't know any that STTN at such a young age.

Again no offense to anyone here. I just don't believe babies that STTN at young ages are any special exception or that the mom is just "lucky" - moms work very hard to get their babies on a schedule to STTN. I think it's really unfair to say these moms are just lucky IMO.




I'm sorry but do you have kids yet??? No offense but a lot of people "SAY" things are certain ways when in all reality they aren't always the way they speak of...

SOme babies thrive off of set schedules and others don't.....

Some need to feed on demand.

Some babies sleep through the night early and others take longer time

I think its very hard for you to make a statement like this when you haven't even experienced it for yourself.

Dreaming about how you are going to care for your baby when he/she arrives and what you will actually do when he or she arrives is a totally different story

Most hospitals Don't wake babies to eat unless they have a medical issue.

When your 6 days old is SCREAMING 2 hours after you fed them because they are hungry again I think you will learn quite fast that it is VERY difficult to entertain them for another hour to keep to a strict feeding schedule and doing so in MY opinion is cruel......

I don't eat at the same time every day... SOme days I'm hungrier than others... Babies are the same way..

Re: Any experience with babies NOT being good sleepers?

I'd just like to say I was in NO WAY putting down mom's of babies who do not STTN, babies who do not STTN. I am a big believer of to each their own. What works for one does not work for all. I respect others and never judge.
Like I said several times...I simply had to post to defend mom's of babies who do STTN...they seem to get put down a lot around here and always seem to be called "lucky" which I think is offensive to them.

Now here is where you are going to throw flames Chat Icon Chat Icon ....I never once said that I was one of those moms...re-read before you attack me please Chat Icon I stated that I know many babies who do STTN and I know how those moms got their babies to that point...and that I just wanted to defend them.
I am prego with my 1st - so do not have a DC of my own to speak of yet. However I have MANY friends who scheduled their babies, many nieces and nephews that I am VERY close to and have watched overnight even at the newborn stage. I was a nanny for YEARS and worked with 4 different families all of who had 6 newborns during the time I worked with them....so while I do not have my own perfect little sleeper just yet, I have worked with many and have close friends and family who have babies who have STTN at a young age.

Trust me I'll be the first to share with you here if my scheduling does not work for my own DC and I'll come here to cry and vent if my baby is not STTN at an age that makes me happy, and will look for advice from all you great moms.

I just had to stand up for those that do schedule...I read a lot on here and am not a big poster and I just feel bad after a while reading how lucky those moms are. I just felt I had to say something in their defense. If I worked hard to schedule my baby and someone told me it was luck - I'd be really upset and probably offended.

I can tell you from experience that I was absolutely lucky and grateful that my DH chose to STTN at 8 weeks and I would never be offended by someone calling me lucky Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon I would happily call it a miracle, especially since he was BFed! Chat Icon

Re: Any experience with babies NOT being good sleepers?

Between 5-6 weeks Kaydyn started doing a 5 hour stretch on most nights, but she was still up once or twice to feed depending on what time we put her in.

She didn't fully STTN until 8 months.

This is how it worked for me too, Carolyn. They started to go longer stretches at around 3-4 months. At around 5 months it went down to 1 feeding a night. At 6 months DD stopped waking up for that feeding. DS I continued to feed for another month or two and then decided he didn't need to eat anymore at night, he was doing it because he was used to it. At that point I wouldn't go in to feed him unless it was 5am or later.

these aren't flames, but do you have a baby yet? many things seem like they would be so easy to do, but once you have kids you realize that theories don't hold water for most kids. and what works for one person's kid probably won't work for yours the same way.

all of my friends have one or more kids and i don't know any who STTN at 8 weeks.

it's fine not to believe in feeding on demand in theory, but in practice i can't imagine how in the world you don't feed a hungry newborn. i have 2 babies, one who is 7 weeks old, and you HAVE to feed her when she's hungry. i can put off feeding her for 10-15 minutes, but more than that isn't healthy for her. a newborn screams bloody murder and will start turning red when she's hungry and not fed.

my kids are/were both FF and a schedule is just not possible in the newborn stage. when they're older of course it is. and i have to add that even when my son was eating every 4+ hours he STILL didn't STTN until we did CIO--and he was on a schedule at that point.

also, strict schedules honestly don't work if you have a life. you have to go grocery shopping, visit other stores and people, etc and just cannot always go around a baby's schedule when they're young. they have to adapt to YOUR schedule. and then if you have an older kid as well (as i do) forget any type of schedule---you'll never get out of the house, and that isn't healthy.

good luck with your pregnancy. i hope this "strict schedule" works for you the way you hope. let us know how it goes come june.

And just to add (because it was mentioned by the other poster) increasing the amount of formula in the bottle doesn't always work, babies' stomachs are only so big and they will spit up the excess formula (or pumped BM) if they aren't ready for it.

Usually when you say you are defending moms of kids who STTN its implied that you are a mom who's child STTN.

Either way......I don't think its fair that you can make a general statement on moms who's kids STTN young when you have never experienced it....

Your friends and family can all tell you what they want but to be honest... it may not even be true Chat Icon


I wish you luck when your baby comes... Just remember that if they scheduling thing doesn't work for your baby, which it doesn't for many.... its ok to feed on demand and that its ok that your baby doesn't STTN right away...It's COMPLETELY NORMAL!

there will be TONS of moms on here awake at 3am rocking and feeding their babies like you... exhausted and sleep deprived and you can come on here and post and we'll send you hugs!

Mommy hood is hard.....

Re: Any experience with babies NOT being good sleepers?

Both my kids did not sleep through the night until they were 6 months old or older in my son's case(he is only consistently doing it now at 11 months).

I hated hearing those moms who said they got 5 or 6 hours of sleep a night- they made me SO jealous! Chat Icon

BUT both my kids are GREAT sleepers now- Grace is 3 and goes to bed great and sleeps all night without a peep.
