Need suggestions regarding middle of the night feeding
DS is 5 months old and is still waking for a bottle in the middle of the night. I’ve read that by 4 months they should not be doing this. I know he is not waking just for comfort b/c I try to rock him back to sleep and he cries for the bottle. He drinks a 6 oz bottle and I change his diaper and he is back to bed in 20 minutes. Sometimes he never even opens his eyes.

increase his last bottle of the night. See if that does the trick.

I agree with this....when is his last bottle before he goes to sleep?
DD is 3 months...she takes her last bottle at around 8:30...I dream feed her at 11:00 about 3 oz...she's been waking at about 5:00-5:30...

Re: Need suggestions regarding middle of the night feeding
My pediatrician told me to feed him cereal with his last bottle...so at around 9pm I gave him cereal with 5 ozs of formula...last night was my first night and it worked. We'll see how it works
DS is 7 months

I am going to try this tonight. I am not sure if he will drink it though. When he is out he wants no part of the bottle.
