20week old will only drink at night

[Shells]

As the title says lo will only drink his milk at night starting at around 8pm every 3 hours till around 4-5am approx 6oz. When I try and offer it during the day he takes one gulp and turns his head away! Tried sippy cups and even with a syringe (it's how he takes calpol). It's like his he all mixed up I don't know what to do...any experience or suggestions would be fab.
By the way have tried calpol, teething gel too in case of teething! Will take a couple of mouthfuls of water in his sippy cup but chews it too

I had started porridge but that was after he started going off his milk, he would eat it and I made it up with milk to see if could get some milk in him! Im going to ring HV Monday! Thanks for replying though x

Do u usually feed him in a dark room at night? Try to feed him during the day close to his nap times when he's not alert in the bedroom with the blinds down. xx
