sleep eating

[1stTimeMom1018]

My LO is a lil over 5 months and have started this whole sleep feeding.. like she toss n turns constantly until i feed her, and she sleeps the whole time she even burps while sleep too, ive tried to not feed her if she toss n turns to eat but it just ends up with her waking completely up & crying.. idk if this is normal or what.. but if it is how long will this last???? Ughhhh

Have you tried a pacifier or soother? Some babies just have a strong urge to suck, and because she is not awake or rooting around, or crying, perhaps she is not hungry but just wants to be soothed? My son is the same way. If I didn't have a do other for him as he falls asleep he would never stop feeding

Soother* not do other lol.

Just let her eat and nurse as much as she wants. We get hungry in our sleep but we've learned to ignore it. She hasnt. I found its better if they don't wake up fully to nighttime nurse. It makes it easier for both of you to go back to sleep. It's normal. And time frame wise... every baby is different.
