I never had this problem with my first DS as he ate 6 8oz bottles from 6 weeks old, was sleeping through at 8 weeks old and never fussed with his milk.
My nearly 5 month old started waking earlier and earlier in the night. He did start sleeping through but then the 4 month regression, jabs and colds got in the way. He was going all night with out a feed but a few weeks ago he wakes at 3/4am and will not settle. I tried for 45 mins last night before I gave in and he drained 6oz.
Usual routine (which has just happened) is this -
6.30/7 - 7oz
9/9.30 - 7oz
1.30 - 7oz
4.30 - 7oz
7.30 - 7oz
3/4am -6/7oz
We have had a stomach bug and unfortunately he did catch a mild case of it and has had Diarrhea for a few days but it has stopped now, thankfully. But due to this when he was waking in the night I was feeding him to make sure he got extra fluids.
But now he’s better he’s still waking at that time and now is refusing his morning bottle! Shall I start to give him less milk in the night to slowly wean him off it?
