and i would like to reinforce what mahi said about giving bottle at midnight...if at all you are offfering bottle at midnight(which is not required, for 10month old), and secondly,,if he is sleeping,,,avoid giving it !
good luck mahi replied. i m not sure if u r feeding him too much or less. If u r feeding this by baby's demand and his weight is fine then it shd b ok.

I just want to say that dont feed milk in sleep (m assuming u give a bottle). There is a risk of choking.

If ur baby wakes up middle of nights, try/check
- gas/stomach upset/indigestion/colic making baby uneasy
- give a massage/warm bath before sleep. Keep him awake for good while before sleep .. play/take out for a stroll, whatever.
-let him b little hungry and then feed him well before sleep. Thus, play.. followed by massage/bath and nice food .. he shd sleep all night.

- check out the article on indiaparenting site homepage. They hv some good points on why baby can wake up at night.

best wishes

i red ur letter..u r feeding him too much.At this age he needs to play..its fine u introduce diff types of food but r u spending time with him or u just feel happy if he sleeps.?that is not the solution..Daily 4 to 5 time if u feed him ,that is ok..some times he needs lots of food..but u allow him to play things which makes him not only happy but also tired..so that he sleeps at nights..and let him play with any other children or elder to him so he won't cry for food..try this..but feeding him too much is not good for health...what i think
