My 10 month old baby wakes up 2 - 4 times a night for a feed

My Ten month old baby still wakes up 2 - 4 times a night for a feed. Is this normal?

Answer: Hi,
From about 6 months on baby shuold be able to sleep 7pm to 7am without an overnight feed. It sounds like baby may be waking out of habit for the feed. Always make sure baby settles to bed awake and not feeding or they will look for this comfort to return to sleep.

You may want to take a look at `Your Baby`s Sleep` page and try our It`s Time To Sleep settling program.

Cheers, Maree
