Help!! I need sleep!

hi everyone! I have two boys, my eldest is two and slept right the way through from 12 weeks and started weaning at 4 months! My now 6 month old is a nightmare, he just doesn’t sleep well at night! I’m pooped! I’m wondering if it’s to do with his feeding! His routine is:

7am : porridge

10am - milk

12.30 - dinner + fruit pouch

2-3 - milk

4.30 - tea + youghurt

6.30 - milk and sleep (til about 12)

then he will wake repeatedly through out the night, sometimes if I pick him up he will settle other times he wants milk! Then he’s up at 5.30-6am! 

Help!!!

  • Hi I'm defo no expert but I have been researching weaning as we are coming up to 6 months and I did read that they might need more milk than you think normally at least 4 bottles a day. This is also recommended on the back of formular I think x

  • My son is 6 months and he does sleep through but he has more to eat during the day his feeding schedul is

    7am porridge 

    9.30 6oz bottle 

    10.30 banana 

    11.30 Lunch and pudding

    between 2-3 6oz bottle 

    4.30tea And pudding 

    6pm 6oz bottle then that’s it till morning. 

    Maybe try snacks between meals like fruit or yogurts
