hi! My son is 11 months old and is not sleeping well through night. During the day he eats banana, cheeku(sapota), oats with apple, dal and parantha, ragi sari, 100 ml of lactogen. Sometimes he also eats vegetable khichdi. At around 6:45PM I give him sooji kheer(sooji+little milk+1spoon ghee+jaggery+almonds). He sleeps at around 8-8:30. I give him BM before sleep. Then again he wakes up at around 11:30 PM and then after almost every 2 hours. During the day he sleeps just once for about 45 minutes. He doesn't look tired and is active most of the time. Everytime he gets up, he needs me to feed him. I am trying to wean him from BM. At midnight, he cries so much that finally I need to given him BM. Is the diet that I am giving him not correct? What should i do? Please help. I am a working mother and it becomes very difficult for me at night. MeMom replied. Hi,

MeMom Sonali replied. Dear Radhika,
Try to feed your baby a slightly heavier meal before he goes to bed. Also, check if he is waking up because he is getting too hot/cold at night. you could try feeding him a bit of milk out of a bottle when he wakes up at 11.30. sometimes, even water does the trick. I also faced a similar problemand got loads of suugestions from friends. You could visit my blog to view all the suggestions and a whole lot of other things related to baby care. Hope this helps you!
