As per title, my 6 month old gal is still waking up for two or three feeds in the night- 7oz bottles (formula fed)- I don’t think it’s anything to do with comfort as she screams bloody murder until a bottle appears so she must be hungry. She does eat in the day but only about 4 bottles of around 4oz and never seems that fussed, just eats it when I prompt her to. There are no health concerns as she seems to be doing ok. I’ve checked with the HV who was useless to be honest. If she’s just a hungry baby of course I don’t mind waking up to feed, but it just feels like she has her feeding schedule flipped a bit and I would like to unflip it if poss 😂. Any one else had this?

Is she very busy and alert during the day? I found my DD started taking more milk at night from about 5m and was getting distracted from feeding during the day, wanting to play and look around. (She was EBF but I don’t know if that makes a difference?) I tried to make daytime feeds as boring and calm as possible, e.g. in a darkened bedroom rather than busy bright living room, and to catch her at calmer points in her sleep/wake cycle. Weaning has helped a bit.
