    6 month old still feeds every 3 hours at night

    My 6 month baby still wakes every 3 hours to feed. He has 120ml formula then goes back to sleep. He does this in the day too that is feeds every 3 hours, that I can handle. But I'm at the point now that I'm soooo exhausted as I have not had a proper sleep since he was born. Having to get up every 3 hours is so hard, I'm totaly sleep deprived as it takes me a while to get back to sleep.

    Please help, any advice or things to try. I just can't take it much longer, driving me crazy

    Just wanted to let you know that you're not alone! My 5 month old DD does the same thing - every 3 to 4 hours....

    No advice, just sympathy as I know what you're going through!

    It is exhausting and it must make it hard having to heat bottles etc.. I can imagine how tired youa re. For what it's worth my love it's not unusual - mine all did it and many others do too. It's the nature of small babies. I do know how tiring it is - the trick is to have a kip when he does during the day. Surviving on little sleep is hard work. Just sending a big hug...
