This was posted in the feeding section but it was suggested I post it here instead. Please help if you can.
Our DD is 7 months old and somehow we've managed to get to the stage where she it's drinking the majority of her milk at night. During the day she "snack feeds" and will only take 30-50mls at a time and rarely. She makes up for this by glugging milk in the evening and waking through the night to feed. Sometimes 4 times per night.
We started off solely breast-feeding but sadly my wifes milk dried up and DD has been on a bottle since 2 weeks old.
We really need to start sleep training her as my wife will be going back to work in June!
We keep getting conflicting advice...some people say that we should switch to only giving her water at night so she wakes hungry in the morning - others say you should never do this.
We're really worried that her feeding habits will stop us being able to sleep train her...I know I couldn't sleep if I was starving!
We started weening before Christmas when she was showing an interest in our food but she hasn't really progressed - in fact seems less interested now than before! She will suffer a couple of spoonfuls of yogurt and chew on a breadstick but that's pretty much it.
Any thoughts on how to reverse the feeding pattern?
