EBF babies sleep at night

Just curious as to babies sleep schedules at night as I’m not sure I’m being realistic 😝 My daughter (20weeks) goes down around 8.30 and wakes at 12 and 4/5 for a feed and then again at 6. I think this is quite a lot. Not sure whether to try and settle without feeding.

I’m feeling the same about trying settle without feeding, as soon as she wakes I just pop her on the boob and she feeds and is back in her next to me within 5 mins 😂 trying to settle her without a feed just takes longer, makes her wake up more and she gets more worked up and will wake my partner up 😂 She’s 17 weeks and each night does vary but generally she’ll go down 7/8pm and sleep till midnight ish for her first feed. Then she’ll usually feed 2/3am and then 5/6 am on an average night. After that last feed she goes back to sleep until 8/9am which is lovely haha.

I’m EBF and this sounds like heaven for me. Last night we were up at 11, 1, 4, 5 and I’ll probably get her up now for 7. Hoping she’ll drop a few of these feeds once the regression is over. Last night it was only 12, 3 and 5 so it really varies at the moment!

We go to bed around 8, wakes up at 11ish for a dream feed and then up again at 3/4 and then 6/6.30. I wake up then and If I’m lucky he’ll go straight back to sleep til or stay up with me while a get big boy ready for school and fall asleep again on school run x

Our EBF schedule is similar, I’m trying to delay the midnight feed to 1/2 and push the second feed to almost 5/6. it’s less sleep for me now but I’m hoping long term it helps me get a little more sleep. Feel like she’s picked up these feeds as habits during her big growth spurt
