2am & 6am feeds

My LO is nearly 15mths old. Lately he has been having another feed at 6am and then falls asleep again. He has always had a night feed sometimes, 4am sometimes 5. However over the last two days he has been drinking twice and I am really worried about his teeth as he basically goes back to sleep afterwards. He definitely wants milk as he points to the milk bottles.


His feeding schedule is basically like this during waking hrs:

breakfast eg bread, fruit, porridge

lunch rice, pasta etc

milk

dinner rice, pasta etc

milk before going to bed



I have to say during the day, he does not eat very well as he is becoming so fussy and will only eat mainly bread. What to do with such a fussy eater and from what I have read in the other threads, it does not seem normal to have to night feeds?

I'll point you to another thread in a moment - which a number of people have given very specific advice on this very issue.


But at first, I think you need to commit yourself to the idea that there should be no more bottles - specifically for teeth and developmental reasons. You need to reduce milk intake - he needs no more than 400 mls a day. You reduce the milk intake, you'll increase the amount of food each day.
