I think it really just depends on the baby. I know thats probably not what you want to hear
My Aunty saud her 2 kids fed every 4 hours much longer than 6 months, and they did not sleep through until 24 months and 19 months.
Other than during teething/illness, Milo has slept through minimum of 5 hours at night since he was about a week old, and by 8 weeks was sleeping 8 hours.
He now averages 10-11 hours a night. Sometimes I have to go in and comfort him, but not get him up etc, and sometimes when he is crying he's still asleep.
Are you exclusively b/f? Would you consider giving her water at that feed, if you were certain it was not food she was after?
Or just trying to resettle her without a feed - this is what I did when Milo dropped the middle of the night feed.
Ryn- I don't think she really needs a feed as she is only on there a few mins, but she will not suck anything else.
Missy- She's been on solids for couple weeks now, just on 2 small meals/ day.
Rayray- She won't take a bottle or anything so can't try the water thing.
But last night she woke only 2 hours after her dreamfeed so I refused to give her a feed and settled her without one, took 15mins but then she slept for another 5 hours so all up that was 7 hours without feed, so I know she can do that.
Might just try settle her each night without the breast and hope she eventually stops waking.
