Hello,
My 5 month old boy is a good routine sleeper during the day - will have usually 4 -5 good naps during the day, BUT...during the night is our big problem. He'll go to sleep around 8.30, and wake up wanting a bottle at 10.30/11pm. He'll have around 200ml then wake again every couple of hours or so, having 150ml each time.
He goes off to sleep with a dummy, and putting the dummy back in when he wakes during the night doesn't work - he seems to always want a bottle.
he's formula fed and usually has about 5 bottles during the day. By about 8 or 9am when he's awake for the day, he's not very hungry....because he's had so much during the night!
Please..any suggestions on how to get him out of this bad habit...I need more sleep than I'm getting!
