How do you get a 6 month old to sleep through the night without multiple feeding periods?

Interesting questn: The trick is feeding them as they awaken and letting them self settle into sleep when they get tired and fussy. They have plenty of food in their intestine to sustain long periods of sleep. Infants rarely sleep more than 4 hr at a time so learning self settling skill allows more down time.People who rock or feed or both as kids fall to sleep have 400% more sleep pbs for the 1st 4 yr.

Sleeping issues: I understand you extremely well as my wife and i went and are still going through the same. Unfortunately, there is no easy answer to this. One thing to try is for mother to get out of the baby's view at night. This helped us in the past. Removing the baby to a different room may help. Letting him scream until he is tired and that will teach him after a few nights to stop demanding it.
