Did you let your babies cry when they were put to bed??
Not really until Ella was around 6 months, but then she didn't used to (not that I can remember)
My personal opinion is that if a baby wakes for a feed then they need the extra milk, particularly if they're going through a growth spurt time. It's up to the individual mum though
Ella started sleeping through at 8 weeks, though she went through a time of waking for 1 feed a night again for a while but once we started doing the same things at the same time each night she settled back down (I also think she was waking because she needed the milk). First when she slept through it was from 10.30pm til 8am, then we gradually brought her bedtime forward. She's breastfed and used to clusterfeed for 2-3 hours at night for a few months, then I introduced a bottle of EBM each night. She'd have bath, dressed in grobag, bottle of EBM (which she usually fell asleep on) and bed. I've not had any problems with the fact that she used to be in our arms when she fell asleep, maybe we're just lucky
She's going through the seperation anxiety phase at the moment and if she's particularly grouchy and goes down awake then she'll cry if she sees us leave the room. I'll leave her for a couple of minutes, normally she settles herself.
I read that they still need a milk feed if they wake for one up until the age of 6 months, but after that they're getting enough during the day and shouldn't need it for their development.
My own personal opinion is that at your LO's age I wouldn't let her cry and I would still give her milk if she wakes. But please don't take offence at that
