5 month old feeding better during night than day- help! (Bottle fed)

[Missushb]

Hi, my bottle fed dd 5 months can frequently take or leave her day bottles, but always takes it very well when given it during the night. She wakes any time between 12am and 1am, will take 6 oz. usually wakes again anytime between 3 and 4.30. I've tried not to give her a bottle then but if i do she drinks around 4/5 oz.
Then when it's morning time 7ish onwards she isn't interested in her bottle, and it's a struggle to get her to drink a full one. This continues for most of her subsequent feeds but I do offer her a bottle obviously, usually at 3 or 4 hour intervals. The night wakings are driving me round the bend. Help! She is around 14 pounds now. Wind was also a problem which does seem to have settled now. Any help appreciated.

Hiya, no advice really but my nearly 5 month old does exactly the same! It's so frustrating especially as my first son would take about 7oz at midnight at this age and then sleep through until 7am! Hoping that someone will reply with some advice and if not, I'm hoping it will gradually start to get better when I wean at 6 months?? Maybe. Does yours have a dummy? My first had one to sleep and it really helped him to self soothe and to stay asleep overnight. My second just won't take one. He puts everything else in his mouth but refuses a dummy!
