10mo started wanting a feed during the night again…

[Gerbera55]

My FF 10mo had started to sleep through the night without waking for a feed, we had a couple of weeks of 8pm-6/6:30am sleeps but now he’s waking again and not settling without a feed.

We don’t have a strict routine (other than the fact he’s woken at 5am for the past few days 🙃) but it is roughly is as follows:

6/6:30 - wake
7am - 8oz
8am - breakfast
9:30 - nap (anywhere between 30mins and an hour)
11:45 - lunch
1:30 - 8oz
2pm - nap (anywhere between 45mins-1.5hrs)
5:30 - dinner
7pm - 9oz
8pm - bedtime

He’s not waking at the same time each night, it’s anywhere between midnight and 2am usually. I’m becoming more aware of it as I know I need to come away from bottles during the night at 12months. Am I missing anything? If I offer another bottle in the day, he tends to have an oz or 2 and that’s it. He is cuddled/rocked to sleep for bedtime but if he wakes in the night, he won’t settle unless fed.
Any advice on how to get him sleeping through/settle without a feed would be great!

I'd be giving a solid snack before bed

It's boiling, I wake in the night for a drink too! I drank a whole bottle of water and had to refill it last night in fact.

It’s really hot. I agree with PP about the pre bed snack and lots of water, and if he wakes in the night see if water settles him. I certainly woke up for a drink in the middle of the night last night!

I agree with pp. He’s thirsty. Just give him some water and go back to sleep.

I should add - this isn’t new just in the heat! It’s been over the past couple of weeks, when it’s not been June weather at all!
I absolutely know that it’s very hot and I’m
never going to not give him milk/water in this heat.

Personally I'd do the feed but I always just do what works/easiest option, it may be a grow spurt so they need more calories. If you don't want to feed, that's fine but do give water, and try a snack or later dinner.

Growth spurt
Development spurt
Emotional comfort
Calorie need
Hydration need
Illness

These are the likely reasons for the change. It'll sort itself out in time, but at only 10mo I'd assume they need the night feed.
