We have an 8 month old baby who is bottled fed and on 3 solid meals a day. Hes crawls and pulling himself up all day long and is really active which is great but very tiring!
His bedtime routine is bath, story and bottle at 7 he usually falls asleep on the bottle and then is put in his cot. through the evening he will wake from once to 4 times before 10, we feed him the rest of his bottle to soothe him as if we put him down awake he cries and stands up in his cot. He used to go back off to sleep with his music box but now hes mobile hes not interested. He will always wake at 10/11, we've dream fed him since he was 2 months and so feed hime as normal. Through the night sometimes he'll sleep until 4/5 but most of all he will wake 2 to 3 times and will only be settled by the bottle. We've tried water and he just refuses it and screams. Even cuddles and roking just seems to anger him. We can be up for hours each night trying to settle him if we dont feed him.
Will he ever sleep through if we keep feeding him? We've tried to let him cry and this leads to him coughing and choking!plus hes very stubburn and will go for hours.
We are desperate for some advice on what to do.
