8 month old

[Melmam]

My 8 month old son is waking at night for 2 feeds bottle fed he has 3 meals a day and 3 bottles is this normal any tips on how to get him sleeping better would be so greatful. This is my second son has always been an amazing sleeper from the beginning. Im just so exhausted. Thanks

Definitely normal as they’re all different x

Is he having 3 meals and 3 bottles per day, then 2 bottles at night - so 5 bottles over 24 hours? Or 3 meals and 3 bottles over 24h, 2 of which are at night?

What sort of percentile line is he on?

My 91st centile baby needed a little if calories. But I wasn't offering anything between 8pm-7am, all feeds in the daytime. Typically she would have 4 or 5 milk feeds plus 3 multi-course meals at this age.

By multi-course I mean, for example:

• 1 spoon-fed jar of bought baby food that was savoury and meat based
• followed by finger food selection of whatever the family meal was, as the rest of us were eating
• followed by 1 pot of yoghurt, spoon-fed
• followed by a selection if fruit as finger food
• followed by a beaker of dilute squash or fruit juice.

This ^ is 1 meal. That quantity was repeated 3 meals per day. Plus bottles do that baby was eating about every 2h:

7am milk
8am breakfast
9am milk
Nap
11.30am lunch
12.30pm milk
Nap
3.30pm milk
5.30pm dinner
7.30pm milk
