Hungry baby

Hello,
My little boy is 5 months old. He has always been a night waker but lately he's drinking more at night. As in about 3 weeks getting more and more!
I want to try c&g hungry baby at night just to hopefully help him go a bit longer. I dream feed at 10 then he wakes on average 1230,3,5 and 7! He will drink about 5oz each time.
Has anybody tried this, ha similar experiences?
Obviously I have tried getting him to feed more in the day but you any force them to drink! He has about 4 bottles of 6oz in the day!
And advice/ stories will be appreciated
Xx

My HV told me not to bother with hungry baby milk has it can bung them up. Just feed when they want. Not much advice really sorry hopefully someone else has some for you 😊

Despite much pressure from MIL we avoided hungry milk as it can cause constipation. When he wakes is he actually hungry or are you in a habit of giving him a bottle? It's likely he won't have more during the day if he's having roughly the same amount over night. I'd be tempted to try cutting out a feed at a time to reduce it down to 1 or 2 overnight.
