Anyone else bottlefed baby still fed every 3 hours during day and night. My lo is on 7 oz bottles and screams blue murder I'd I don't give him one straight away in a night. Just would love him to sleep through the night.I have tired increase oz bit he just leaves it.

He’s still very little to be expecting him to sleep through. Just keep going as you are and he’ll get there eventually.

My 11 month old still isn’t sleeping through every night. It takes awhile. Sorry to scare your op! Good news is that no two nights are the same though.

The nighttime feeds will decrease eventually and I found they did once DS was weaned but seems there’s always something that wakes them. I think they look for comfort more than anything during the first year. Just know this phase will pass Flowers

Maybe have a chat with your health visitor about whether hungry baby milk would be appropriate? My DD was similar and was having a lot of milk so the health visitor suggested we try one hungry baby feed at night and it did help her.

I don’t agree with hungry baby milk as it has stuff in that keeps them fuller and has no extra nutritional content or calorific value. Milk is so important in the first year i’d just give extra milk as and when required and at 6 months baby will be weaning and the food will help eventually as well. Babies wake for all different reasons and not always hunger and usually seek comfort more than anything in the first year.
