DD is 6 and a half months. But the last few weeks she has been drinking less milk (before we started to wean, so not because of that), and not sleeping in the evening for a few hours, getting really overtired around 7pmish and we felt like she was trying to tell us she wanted to go to bed around 7 or 8am and just stay asleep til morning. We trialled reducing 5 bottles to 4 and she was in bed by 9pm for a few nights in a row and that was great as we actually had a couple hours in the evening to watch telly together. But then on the fourth and fifth nights, she woke around 3 or 4am for a bottle! Then woke the next night but not for a feed, just passed a lot of wind, cried on and off for a while and went back to sleep with some help (honestly I can tell the difference between when she wants milk and when she just wants to go back to sleep, she reacts differently). So we moved her back to 5 bottles in the day and our previous loose routine - the first two nights, she didn't wake in the night, but she was only drinking like 2 or 3 oz of milk at the feed around 9am, so it seemed a bit pointless? But she wasn't waking so we thought we'd stick to that. Then the last two nights she has woke around 4am but not for a feed, although last night I thought she might have wanted one but DH managed to get her back off to sleep. Tonight she has drank probably not even 1oz and we have purposefully sat up with her still on DH for ages to try again to get more milk in her to sleep through, but she wouldn't driink anymore, so I'm preparing myself for a bottle in the night...is there anything I can do to try and reduce the wakings for a bottle? Should I just stsick with the 4 bottles, put her to bed around 7/8 and suck it up and accept I can't do anything? Especially if she's basically refusing the dream feed.
