Hi! In need of any help/advice/tips before I spend my bucks on sleeping professionals which I really don't want to do!
My little one just turned 8 months so we have been on solids for a couple months now. Ever since we have started solids it seems his night time sleeping has crumbled! He was sleeping 9 hour blocks, but now we have something different every night.
We have always been in a routine (which he fell into himself). Bath bottle and bed by 6:30. He only has a small bottle now ( 100ml-140ml) and tends to wake up an hour or two later crying for another bottle ( another 100-140ml). I have tried earlier dinners and smaller portions of dinner to try get him to have a bigger milk intake before bed, but nothing seems to be working. I even tried no dinner one night and he ended up taking a good 240ml, but again woke up a couple hours later for another bottle. After this feed he will usually sleep through till 4ish which isn't too bad! Just confused as to why he isn't taking a big bottle anymore before bedtime and waking up again so soon after hungry! Need that 9 hour block back!!
Thank you!
