I've done something very naughty - but it worked...
DS has normally sleeps 6.30pm to 6am most nights but for the last week he has been waking up at 4.30am....I have been trying to hold back giving him a bottle at this time as he just seems to be awake and not wanting his bottle
I told my friend this (her DD is 2 years old) and she said to me....well, are you putting a rusk in his last bottle ??? WHAT ???????
so the last two nights I've sprinkled some of his aptamil porridge into his last bottle and bingo - woke up at 6am yesterday and this morning !!!!!!!!
so so so so naughty but it has got me thinking that perhaps he does need something just extra to keep him asleep those last few hours !!!!!!!
I really do feel quilty about doing it....but as my friend did it I wonder how many other mothers out there do it too ???

You can get this stuff called goodnight milk that has a similar effect of putting rusk or cereal into their bottle that might be worth a try?
Edited to add a link to the formula:

Dont think it would make a diff to my lo as he has puree at lunch and baby rice and puree hr before his last bottle still doesnt sleep aslong as ur lo.
Was giving him porrige at breckfast but found he cut back too quick on milk therefore waking up for huge night feed and probably thirsty as he will only drink a 1/2 oz of water a day.
Might try the goodnight milk at 6 months.
