How to decrease night feeds 6 months?

[threediamonds]

If no, then that's fine - it's just that my 6 month old FF baby is now feeding more in the night than in the day! I'm knackered getting up to make bottles.

I try to be responsive and bottle feed her on demand but she now takes a big bedtime bottle, then at least two reasonably big bottles during the night. She's then never that interested in her two morning feeds the next day and takes half the amount if that.

Her weight gain is fine and she's 75th centile. Is there a way I can gently encourage her to feed more during the day and less at night?

She's not a great sleeper and I feel that waking for feeds isn't helping, she sleeps in a next to me and I always cuddle her or replace dummy when needed. I'm too soft to sleep train or let her cry in any way.

Any help appreciated as I'm like the walking dead at the moment!

Have you just recently started solids? I found this massively disrupted sleep and if having a feed when she wakes is what she does, this will explain it. 6 months is just a weird time for sleep. Personally, I would try to offer lots of milk and food during the day, but I don't think there is a whole lot you can do about the nights as it's a bit too soon to refuse to offer a feed. Sleep changes a lot over the next few months. My one who was ff dropped all night feeds completely at 9 months (didn't mean she slept well, but just she didn't want a bottle).
