    • this is not super unusual for a baby that age, especially if EBF, and rice cereal is unlikely to help much. BTDT. is baby hungry each time he wakes?

    • My 5m old now sleeps through the night. I thought he was hungry when waking up, but one day I just gave him back his pacifier and he went back to sleep. Important not to pick him up. You can definately start to decrease night feedings, either time if you are BF or quantity if you are bottle feeding.

      • i wasn't expecting my 4m old to, but he did. I think not every child will, but there are definately things you can do to help the process along

    • Sorry to tell you that solids will not help him sleep longer stretches at this age.
