8 month old suddenly bringing up evening bottle

[boundarybabe]

Ds is nearly 9 months, and has been really ggod with food so far - we are doing a combination of BLW/spoon feeding. The last few days he has eaten his tea at 5 as normal (he never eats that much) - but then when I give him his bottle at 6-6.30 ish, he has just brought it all back up. Proper projectiling like when you overfeed a newborn. He then goes to bed quite happily and although he tends to wake in the night a couple of times he has been fine waiting till 6am for his morning bottle. This has happened 3 or 4 days in a row. He obviously isn't ill so I can't work it out. I am considering giving him a bottle at 5 instead of tea but that seems like going backwards IYSWIM?

Any ideas?

how much milk do you offer? When dd went through a phase like this I dropped the bedtime bottle by an ounce or two and the throwing up stopped.

We had this for a bit, it happened when he tried to drink too much milk after having a good dinner. It was also particularly bad when he had a cold.

So now I don't try and push too much milk into him at bedtime and stop feeding when he first pushes the bottle away (previously I would keep offering it until he drank some more when the first lot had gone down, and then it would all come back up). I also sit him upright for a minute or two after the milk and look at a couple of books.

I also try and add extra milk during the day. Sometimes he will only drink 2-3oz before bed (now 10 months old) but although sometimes he wakes in the night, he is happy to wait until 6am or so for his bottle and even then doesn't drink a huge amount (he never has) so I know he's not desperately hungry.

Sorry for the delay in coming back - I was offering a full bottle but the amount he drinks varies and I always let him push it away when he's ready.

Yesterday the nursery said he ate hardly any tea (threw it all on the floor apparently ) and he had his bottle no problem. I suspect the bottle's just been a bit too much for him - he had 4oz yesterday and was fine until 6am.
