1 year old started waking for milk

[Ivysaurus]

Just curious really if we are on the right track food wise for DS.
He is just about to turn 1 next week.
My main issue is that he has in the past month started waking in the night for milk -which he hasn't done since he was 3 months old- it all started after being poorly (ear infection requiring antibiotics, then croup needing steroids, alongside teething 🤦‍♀️) he showed huge improvement in being well again since 5 days ago, but is still waking for milk.

Anyway, this is what he's had today, does it seem normal?
Wake 7am
7.30am 4oz formula or cows milk (won't drink more) (started on blue milk for some milk feeds since he's been better)
8.30am 1 full Weetabix with blue milk, 10 blueberries
9.30am nap for 1 hour
11am few wafers
12pm half ham sandwich, mini fromage frais
(Nap somewhere here)
3.30pm half pack baby crisps
4.30pm some bolognese with pasta, blueberries, greek yoghurt and fruit purée
Bed 6-6.30pm
4oz formula before bed (made more but leaves it)
Then he will wake up at midnight for a full bottle (finishes a 7oz)

So i have started dream feeding him around 10pm to help get him to sleep through. (This mostly works he occasionally wakes for a dummy, did once last night)

Any advice? Shall I keep the dream feed? I just wish he would take more in the day like he used to then he wouldn't need it overnight 🤨 he hadn't had night feeds for months so I know he can easily go without. He's been on or just above 50th centile weight since birth if that matters

Is he only having milk twice a day? My LO was still taking 3/4 bottles a day alongside food, but then my child is a bit milk obsessed so that could have been wrong.

I'll give milk in an afternoon too if he seems to want it, I also try some in a cup during mealtimes but he rejects it (prefers the bottle 🤨) but it's mainly twice in the day and once at night. I can try giving a extra bottle in the day again? He will likely only take 3-4oz but worth a try. Before he was ill he'd have a 7oz bottle on waking and 7-8oz before bed

Try just offering water when he wakes in the night

Mine did this temporarily at same age for a few weeks. Turns out it was just a comfort thing, down to teething and a cold. We just went with it, and it passed. Back to normal again now

Mine stopped for about 3 weeks wanting milk in the night ( still woke for water though ) he lost weight snore started milk. he is back up to 2 bottles a night.
He is 1 years old .. i offer 4 bottles through the day but will hardly touch it too interested in solids then night time he is a milk monster ... watching for ideas

It is entirely normal to a) still wake in the second year of life and b) need a milk feed to go back to sleep. There are also more sleep regressions into toddlerhood

Plus he's only been well a week, it's not long for sleep to return to your (very lucky) 'normal'

No supper??
All my dc had a weetabix and half a bottle of toddler milk before bed.
