My DS had quite a good routine until 1bout 3 weeks ago when he was sick followed by teething, which totally knowcked him out and I just cant seem to get him back again.

He goes down about 7-7.30ish and then I wake him about 10.00/10.30ish for a feed. THis used to carry him through the night, but he wont take any more than 1-2oz at a time now and is waking for more at night.

How can I fill his wee tummy? HOw can I break his habit of waking?

ANy ideas? please!!

Are you sure he's waking because he's hungry? If he's on full solids, he shouldn't really need anything at night now, and I think you are wasting your time with a dream feed - he doesn't really seem to be hungry. Just leave him to wake up naturally, if at all. If he does, offer him some water and see what he does with that. It may just be a habit that he is waking up, not really that he is hungry. Is he fully on solids - protein, carbs etc?
How big is his bedtime bottle and what time is he having his dinner?

Agree with jambots about the dream feed. He shouldn't need it now at all. ONLY ofer water at night - he'll soon understand it's not worth waking for!
