Ok so I'm really in need of some mummy advice and support...

My little boy is 11 months and still wakes up multiple times a night.. I wouldn't mind if it was once or twice but it is a minimum of 4 times and some days a lot more... now I know the reason he wakes up is because he's hungry.. he is fully weened but after a bad cold a couple months ago he just refuses to eat more then a few spoons or bites... I'm just at my wits end now because I get so little sleep and now feel like crying most the day..
It doesn't help that my SIL has a little boy who is a month older and a perfect eater and sleeping through 🙄 So they always say he should be like him..,

Roughly how many naps in the day/ length of time? Formula fed or bf ...how much milk is he having in the day?

Thanks for replying!

He has two naps a day one in morning and one late afternoon normally around 1hr/1.5hrs..

He is formula fed and has bottle before morning nap, one before afternoon nap and one before bed .. he then has a bottle throughout the night... daytime he has about 18oz and then can have anything between 6-11oz over night.. I have tried replacing with water bottle but then he will just moan until he gets milk 😩

Doesn’t sound that dissimilar to what my Dd was doing. We did drop the afternoon bottle at 12 months and she started to eat more of her dinner. You could try, if gets whingey just offer more food snacks and water.
As for the night time comfort feed, if not taking the water bottle would you be happy to just let him cry it out (this isn’t for everyone and bloody difficult at 3am when you will do anything just to get some sleep)?

What is baby magic tea? He does get quite gassy so I do use gripe water which does help most the time... I think because it is getting colder and darker it is getting harder to do.. I did try the cry it out method but I wasn't strong enough to hear him cry it was pretty tough!
