My son wakes up every 2 hours (or less) at night & eats 4 onces or more. He naps only a few times a day for 30-45 minutes. I think the problem is that he does not eat much during the day & wants to make up for it at night. From 8am to 8pm he had only drank 10 onces of soy formula (he has a milk protein allergy), but I know that tonight he will wake up & drink the rest of the much needed 32 onces. At night we've tried everything to get him to go back to sleep without eating & he continues to wail as if we were killing the poor thing. He will not go back to sleep without eating all that he feels is necessary. He's still gaining weight & growing & is not dehydrated, but if I try to feed him more during the day at any feeding he screams (and I do mean screams, quite the temper) and pushes the bottle away.There's no way to get him to eat more. How should I solve this problem? I really need help, I'm exhausted & so is his daddy. I appriciate any advice anybody can give. Thank you in advance!
