3 Month old eating all night

Hi, my baby is 13 weeks and he is flat out refusing his morning bottle at 8am, then will have about 3 ounces at around 12.30pm, and then will want to wait about 4-5 hrs before his next feed. At night, however, he is wanting to feed every 2 hours and does eat the whole bottle each time.

Ive tried:
-Offering him a feed on a rigid schedule (every 3 hours),
-Following his hunger cues in the day
-Smaller but more frequent bottles in the day
-Bigger night time bottles to keep him full longer

But none of this has helped and just seems to be getting worse and we are so tired due to the broken sleep.
Any advice on what we can do to fix this if we can would be very appreciated :)

I don't know if you know already but it's called Reverse Cycling and it's tough!

Have you tried snoring like swimming with him to see if that will up his appetite on the day?

Are you getting him outside in the day too? I know it's not ultra appealing at this time of year but daylight has been proven to aid nighttime sleep.

Hopefully someone will be along soon with some tips on Reverse Cycling Flowers
