He had 2 bms today, so we'll see if that helps (although as I write he has been awake for more than an hour 2 hours after falling asleep- so it's not looking amazing)

Yes, we give him lots of prunes actually, mixed in all his other food- prune juice, stewed mashed prunes... also dilute all his food with water, although I just started pure water in a sippy cup today.  Other than that he has had apples, pears, carrots and squash- again, all mixed with water and prunes... I give him 1-2 oz's of food one to two times a day- I try to do pretty soon after feeding but sometimes it's an hour or so after.   I think food is still just so new for his little digestive track, you know... plus I should say, I have a fairly little guy- he's been a little slow in most milestones (but of course he is incredibly brillant ;))... he's 7.5 months and about 16lbs... for what that is worth...

I know I keep saying this, but here it is again.... he just seems hungrey when he wakes!  Ugg... I just don't know what the right thing to do is, but we are getting so frustrated!

Sarah, I've asked someone else to look at the post to see if I'm missing something ??? I am sorry its taking so long to work the NW's out & he could very well be hungry at night but he should be able to do longer than 3hrs.
