I'm puzzled!!!
My 18 week old is on 3.5 hour EASY.
He has just had his jabs, but the week before his jabs he started waking for a feed in the night (draining a bottle) and back off to sleep. (Growth spurt I thought)

After his jabs, he dropped his feed intake through the day (bottle) from 180mls to 100-120mls for every feed (maybe coincidence??) and so I introduced the dream feed and it holds him off for a few hours (instead of 2am it's now 4am) but he's still waking because he's hungry!!
I'm also concerned that I will get him into the habit of waking for a feed every night.
I'm not sure how to feed him more through the day?? Need advice from experienced mums please!!! I'm new at this!!!
