anyway what you could try is feeding quite close together from say 6 onwards - depends if your lo will take all the milk and make sure burp!

My lo is 9 months and only just starting to sleep through on the odd occasion!
Just try one teaspoon to start off with, but get the Y shaped teat so he's not sucking too hard. Its worth a go, I'd sell a kidney if I thought mine would go through the night.
Didnt know you could get special teats for cereal to pass through though....
My lo was the same never could take enough milk to get him through the night the most I could get him to take at any one time was 6oz and that was only when he was about 20weeks. He is now nearly 24 weeks and gets breakfast and tea and a yoghurt and 4 x 6oz bottles and he no longer has a bottle through the night... he does sometimes wake up though and be given his dummy and the lightshow switched on. It definatley gets better when they eat more food.

Ruby is only 10 weeks but is evil through the night so i'll be trying this as soon as she's big enough.
She's started on a new milk and just found out she's lactose intolerant and she only takes 2-3oz at a time now so is up all the time through the night. I constantly look like death and ready to pull my hair out! xx
All of these ladies wrote this a long time ago so I was wondering if anyone went on to try the rice or rusk in the bottle with success?
