The general pediatric view for a 6-month-old's night feeding is: A healthy, adequately growing baby at this age may need 1-2 night feedings. Some babies still wake twice while others can do with just one feeding or sleep straight through without waking. When solids are introduced at 6 months, daytime calorie intake increases, so night feeding need naturally decreases. However, every baby is different; teething, a sleep progression, or habit can also be reasons for night waking besides hunger. If your baby is getting adequate daytime nutrition and weight gain is steady, 1-2 night feedings are age-appropriate. If he's waking more than twice or seems to need feeding after each wake, a habit may have developed — in that case, discussing your night feeding pattern with your pediatrician can help.
