3 approaches by moms

Gradual reduction45% moms chose this path

Slowly decreasing the milk volume or nursing time over several weeks.

Suits parents who prefer a gentle transition with minimal crying during the night. You reduce the feed by 10ml every few days until they sleep through.

Jolene K.. · Working mom · Baby at 5 months

I cut his night bottle by 10ml every three days. Took about three weeks, but he barely fussed and just slept through eventually.

Dream feeding30% moms chose this path

Offering one last feed while the baby sleeps to prevent early waking.

Suits moms who want to align their baby's longest sleep stretch with their own. You rouse them slightly at 11pm to feed, which usually buys you sleep until 6am.

Wendy T.. · Experienced mom · Baby at 4 months

Started giving a dream feed at 10.30pm before I sleep. He drinks it with eyes closed and stretches all the way till 6am now.

Cold turkey15% moms chose this path

Stopping all night feeds abruptly and using sleep training methods to resettle.

Suits exhausted parents who need a fast resolution and can tolerate a few tough nights. The first three nights involve heavy crying, but most babies adapt within a week.

Ivy C.. · First-time mom · Baby at 6 months

Paediatrician said he was heavy enough, so we just stopped. First two nights were absolute hell with crying, but by night four he slept.

Expert guidance

Prolonged night feeding can disrupt sleep consolidation and increase early tooth decay risks. HealthHub notes that while many 4- to 6-month-olds wake nightly, you can begin phasing out feeds if they are developing well. What matters most is ensuring adequate daytime calories, as there is no rush to wean.
