I get confused with the whole 'sleeping through' thing. DS is a good sleeper, goes down at 7/7.30 and generally sleeps till I wake him between 7.15 and 7.30am. I say sleeps, but does wake for food and then goes straight back to sleep.
My problem is that, at 10 weeks he managed from 11 to 7 without a feed on two occasions, but then got a sore throat and stopped eating. Hence when he woke in the night, rather than waiting for him to cry, I was keen to get as much formula into him as possible, so when he started making noises, rushed in with a bottle. He's much better now (he's 13 wks). Although he doesn't down his 6ozs in one like he used to, he will generally take most of it. However, he is waking up between 3 and 4 and happily taking whatever I give him. I usually restrict him to 4 oz (as he falls asleep straight after his feed and has reflux so is generally sick at night.).
I'm pretty sure he can do without this night feed now but am not sure how to encourage him to give it up. Not sure I want to give water because of the reflux.
Should I just leave him and not bother with the 10.30/11 feed? Tried this the other night and he made it through to 2am. not bad from 6.30. But still a night feed.
