DS2 is 9 months old & still ebf with solids. He's never taken a bottle & now I don't see any point in trying.
He's had silent reflux on & off since birth (more on than off!) & constipation since weaning. Sleep as such has been something of a challenge for him & me. Night feeds increase when he's been refluxy or had tummy ache from constipation.
3 weeks ago we had a bit of 'crisis' meeting with the hv as he started having a period of horrendous sleep waking up within 45 minutes of being put down, screaming blue murder, only mummy & boob would do. This would go on literally all night. If we'd co slept he literally hung off me all night. Once again reflux had struck. Hv advised to make sure he's not waking through pain so get meds sorted for reflux & constipation & try going dairy free. He went back on ranitidine for reflux & movicol for the constipation. Over the course of a week we had a huge improvement in sleep (no idea if it was the dairy or the meds) & went 7 hours with a quick feed then another 2 or 3 hours.
Then he got a stinking cold & chest infection so all understandably went tits up & we were back to all night feeding which is where I'm still stuck. The cold & chest infection are 95% better, we've been back to see Gp to increase the ranitidine dosage as I know illness makes it worse & given calpol in case of teething pain.
Last night he was awake again within an hour, co slept feeding from 10pm until 1.30am when he'd finally unlatched, went in his cot until just after 3am, fed for I think around 45 minutes
