Nocturnal feeding - how to reverse the trend

[Vimesy]

Our DD is 7 months old and somehow we've managed to get to the stage where she it's drinking the majority of her milk at night. During the day she "snack feeds" and will only take 30-50mls at a time and rarely. She makes up for this by glugging milk in the evening and waking through the night to feed. Sometimes 4 time per night.

We really need to start sleep training her as my wife will be going back to work in June! :(

We keep getting conflicting advice...some people say that we should switch to only giving her water at night so she wakes hungry in the morning - others say you should never do this.

We're really worried that her feeding habits will stop us being able to sleep train her...I know I couldn't sleep if I was starving! :)

Any thoughts on how to reverse the feeding pattern?

Oh, I should add that we've started weaning but she's not really that interested but we persevere. We can't rely on her getting enough "solids" to replace any milk as yet.

Is your DD partially breast fed or is it just formula?

It's just formula...we started off solely BF or EBF but things conspired against us and after a couple of weeks my wife could no longer BF. :(

Hopeful bump

You will probably get a better response in the Breast and Bottle Feeding forum - this is more to do with solid foods. It gets more traffic too so you'll get a faster response too. Good luck!
