I am needing some advice! Keep your judgemental comments to yourself please.
My son is almost 8 months old and is still up 1-2 times a night to feed. I've tried reducing the bottle sizes and it still does nothing. He'll still wake up for that 2 oz bottle. He used to sleep thru the night before he got sick, then he caught the habit again. Any tips on things I can try?

does he like a paci? that's what my doctor told me to do. I would have to stick her paci in her mouth cuz she just wanted something to suck on. I would rock her with the paci and hold her tight and she would go back to sleep eventually. and now she barely ever wakes up.

try to feed him more solids during the day and try to reduce the milk to like 3 times a day . morning after lunch and dinner. and try to get him to eat a snack in between meals . he shouldn't be too hungry if he eats more solids . and then try the Paci at night . but dip it in the formula. that should work. but , don't worry hun you will get it . it takes time . my daughter was the same for awhile . but I had realized the more she ate in the day the less she wanted her bottle. like those Gerber mini meals are great . and the snacks . my daughter loved those . and it's finger food.

He eats at least 2 solid meals a day and snacks thru out the day. Probably takes about 3-4 bottles too.

Girl, mix in some oatmeal cereal (rice cereal can be constipating) in his bedtime bottle and watch him sleep all night. And he's 8mos so you can put like 2 or 3 tbs. earths best organic oatmeal does really well with my daughter and she's only 2.5 months. Slept all night last night!

@brodysmomma, that's awesome!!! Yea the first two or three times we did it, Violet slept for 7 hours straight. Then I think she got used to it cuz she's sleepy for 4.5 hours then wake up, breastfeed her, then back to sleep for about 3-3.5 hours. But last night and the night before she slept for 6.5-7 hrs! And your son is old enough to put more cereal in than I do. Some friends of ours said their son slept for 8-10 hours with it when he was 4mos! I'm glad little man slept for you 😁
