How to get DS taking 10pm bottle again?

[mrsnlw]

DS is 6m old. He used to have a bottle at 10 which from 4m saw him through. He started weaning at 17w and slept through until about 4 weeks ago. He is now on 3 meals a day plus formula. He is at my parents Mon, Weds and Fri and nursery Tues and Thurs. My parents have tried to replicate nurserys routine so breakfast at 830, dinner at 1130 and "tea" at 330. We were then giving him another meal with us at our teatime. We changed this to be just a small bowl of porridge to see if this helped with his 10pm bottle feed. Nope. Still doesnt take anything. Ive even tried not giving him tea at our teatime. Nope.

He clearly needs something as he has started to wake up at and draining a whole 6oz bottle of milk.

Any suggestions? TIA x

How much milk is he having in the daytime?

By 6 months you could be looking to drop the 10pm feed, rather than re-introduce it.

The transition you are in at the moment sounds like your son is ready to sleep through without a feed at all at night. I wouldn't be pushing the 10pm bottle anymore, I'd drop it completely.

Up the amount of milk he is having through the daytime and try settling him when he wakes, rather than feeding him.

He did sleep through for 2 months then stopped and wakes at 5 for milk.
