I am not sure if my LO night waking is considered habitual or not. He is 7.5 months old and wakes anywhere between 12-2 and then again anywhere from 5-630, finally waking for the day between 730-830. When he wakes in the middle of the night I feed him then lay him right back down and he goes to sleep. He is breast fed, getting one 2 oz formula bottle a day. This week I decided to try and get him to take a bottle in the middle of the night so he can be baby sat. Well the first night he initially took it, then when he rested he choked and got upset and would not take anymore. The next night I tried a different nipple where it would not come out unless he sucked. He would not even attempt to take he bottle. By trying to give him the bottle, I realized he does not seem hungry at all. I have realized he seems to nurse/pacify on me for longer and longer. Basically, I want to stop these night wakings and was wondering how to do it especially if he is hungry...even though I really do not feel he is. I am going to continue trying win the bottle. But getti g did of the night wakings would be best.
