This is typical!
Babies are like that.
Some ppl would say you have to train them.
But what I found that works, and with a lot of advice from mothers with 7 kids, that you feed on demand. Just as you would like a snack one day at a certain time, you may not want that again at that same time the next day.

Many babies LOVE to eat at night every two to three hours even when they are as old as two years!

You could try feeding your baby something solid before bed to fill the baby's tummy.

take care

My son is like this now too. When he was 9 weeks he started to sleep for 5 or 6 hour stretches at night and that was only becuase I decided to put him in bed with us. The crib terrified him and I couldn't bare to let him cry alone and so we tried co sleeping and it works great! I love to be close to him anyways and it seems natural to be close to my baby. We follow all the safety rules for co sleeping and we have a net on the end of the bed that he sleeps on. You can buy these at http://www.onestepahead.com There is also a way to sleep that provides safety and I actually find that the position is also more comfy for me. You can read about co sleeping in a book I high recommend called good nights.

Well back to what I was saying, since he was 9 weeks I enjoyed many great nights of sleep where he would wake up once for maybe twice to feed for 5 min and then he would drift off into a deep sleep. Well it seems that since he started teething he is up a lot more and feeding a lot more. He has been getting into a routine of doing this so now I think his body is like clockwork and wants to do it all the time. Its going to take a while to reverse this. He also gets up on his hands and knees and then crys. I don't know why that is, but if anyone knows I would love to know why he does this. He has been getting a little better latley since I started giving him rice cereal before bed. He seems to sleep longer. I think his eating more at night also has to do with the fact that during the day he wants to be mobile a lot and crawl all over the house and when I try to feed him he will feed for a short time and then want to play again. I think he has just gotten into a pattern and a combination with the teeting and wanting to play more during the day has caused more night feedings. Babies typcially need a certain number of feedings in a 24 hour period, I just have to figure out how to switch him back on schedule and eating more during the day. My friend recommends a book called the no cry sleep solution by Elizebeth Pantley. I am going to read that and let you know if it has helpedd. Meanwhile if anyone here has any tips they would be much appreciated. :)
