15month old refusing night bottle

[sleeping bubs]

Hey my lo is nearly 16months and still has formula (high energy) but the last few days he has been refusing his night time bottle around 9pm and going asleep but waking between 1 and 3am for one!!

Any ideas how to break the habit??? I would rather him have a bottle around 9pm then one at 6am, cos after the 3am bottle he has breakfast around 8-9am lunch 12, bottle 3pm between 6-9oz tea 6pm and then used to be bottle 9pm then bed

He is having around 15-20oz of milk a day plus other dairy products.

Did you try offering him his bottle a bit earlier at around 8 pm before he gets sleepy? Omar usually takes his bedtime bottle arounf 30-60 mins before his bedtime as he doesnt feed to sleep, & if he's sooo sleepy he would prefer to sleep & drop his bottle.

might try that but rarely eats less than 3hrs b4 he has eaten his last meal!! will try that tomorrow he did manage 2oz before bed tonight so I wonder wot time he will wake for another bottle. (wish he would sleep though lol but I think he is following in his daddy's footsteps didn't sleep though till he was 4 and had milk through the night until then!!!! oh the joys lol)

What about offering him few sips of water instead of a feed when he wakes up. I know he's on special formula but you can switch his dinner with his bottle, so you can try offering him his bottle at 6 pm, then his dinner at 8 pm. I keep changing Omar's feeding & meals routine as he doesnt like to eat or drink his milk .
