What to feed when child cries at night.
Hi,
My 8 month old has stopped breastfeeding by himself.
He cries at midnight during sleep, but he is not latching to my breast. He simply cries and then sleeps on my lap.sometimes he wakes up, plays for sometime and sleeps himself.
Is it necessary to feed some food at midnight.
My Mom tells me to bottle feed formula milk.
My son had been on exclusive breastfeeding and has never had formula milk before.
Please advise. Is there any alternate option.
1st option :You can give expressed breast milk so that milk continues to be produced
2nd : give formula milk till 1 yr. Then switch to cow milk plus formula for some time
Next Steps
Continue high nutrient solid diet 3 to 4 times a day
