Infant feeding

5 month old feeding through night ONLY!!!

My 5 month year old refuses to drink his milk throughout the day even though he is clearly hungry, this has been frustrating to say the least (been going on for a month)!]

The worst thing is he went to his grandmas last weekend and took his bottle during the day! He has solids three times daily (not much) and I dreamfeed him two bottles. At 7pm he wull go down to sleep and i give him a bottle and then the fun really begins as he is up approx 2hrs later for a 4-5oz feed, this goes on until around 6am, at 7am he wakes up with trapped wind. He is a very windy baby and it takes me forever to get it up if at all (tried all the usual things). Is the problem that he associates me and the bottle with trapped wind, do I smell? I'm very tired, at leat as a newborn he was taking during thr day. He has never slept through and I can't ask his gran as she is my enemy and behaves very smug when I ask anything. Thanks.

He also has a dummy, should I get rid? should I see an osteopath for the trapped wind?
