My son is 9 months old too. I had the same problem that he was waking frequently at night for feeding. For just 2 nights I gave him his formula milk (powder milk),(which he doesn't drink much) and he stopped waking from the third night. This is my experience just 15 days ago. Rita replied. Hi Baishali,

I used to think i am on my own!!! - Shreya is not walking but is crawling about everywhere!!! How about Ritaj? Where do u guys live? we are from Luton in the UK. Shreya is trying very hard to walk but I don't ewant to rush her as she is quite tiny and I am scared, probbaly me being silly and over-protective. How is the feeding going?

Chat soon Rita replied. Hi my daughter Shreya is now 10 months and she only recently began taking formula milk, I still have to breast feed her during the night. She just would not take a milkbottle or a sippy cup, I have been feeding her milk with a spoon!!! She is now taking to the taste of formula and I will start giving it to her in a cup. I know how upsetting and frustrating it can be, especially when they are not putting the weight on like they should be. You have to keep trying and trying!!! She does not sleep through the night but she is also teething which does not help.

Speak to u soon. Shalini replied. My daughter's name is Jhil. She still wakes up at night crying. Sometimes I breastfeed her if it's more than 4 hrs since she went to sleep, otherwise I rock her in my lab and she goes to sleep. She doesn't have any teeth yet, that worries me, but her doctor says it's normal. Babies are fun, aren't they? Jhil is my first one. How about Ritaj? Is he your first one too? Take Care and Take a good care of that little one.

Talk to you later,
Shalini Shalini replied. Hi,
I don't think it's possible to wean your son in a day. You could try giving him formula. I have 8 months old daughter, although I am planning to breastfeed her until she is one year old. I am weaning her to sippy cup. I just pump out my milk and she drinks that milk from the sippy cup. Try giving him formula once a day for a weak and gradually increase that amount until he is drinking only from the cup or a bottle. It might take more than month, but that's what my doctor suggested and he says that way my baby won't feel left out either. Hope this helps.
