Does an 11-month-old baby need night feedings?

For an 11-month-old baby, night feeding is generally no longer necessary. At this age, babies can meet their daily calorie needs through complementary foods and breast milk or formula consumed during the day.
Many babies start sleeping through the night (6-8 hours uninterrupted) between 9-12 months. If your baby wakes up at night and wants to feed, it's usually a habit or comfort need rather than true hunger.
However, every baby is different. Some babies—especially those who eat little during the day or during growth spurts—may need night feeding for a while longer. The best approach is to evaluate based on your baby's weight gain and daytime feeding routine.
If you want to reduce night feedings: enriching daytime meals with protein and healthy fats, providing a filling dinner before sleep, and trying to soothe your baby without feeding when they wake at night can be helpful. If your baby's weight and development are normal, you can gradually reduce night feedings without concern.
