My 16 month old DS has been doing about 5 highly offensive poo's a day for the last 3 or so weeks. In the last 10 days he has started to wake between 9.00pm and 11.00pm, the only way to settle him is for him to have a really big drink of water and then come into bed with us.

His diet is this:

Breakfast - 2 x WeetBix with cow's milk
Snack - Apple slices
Lunch - Toasted cheese sandwich and yoghurt
Snack - Homemade creamed rice with stewed apples and blueberries
Dinner - Pasta casserole, soup and buttered toast or whatever we are having (meat and veg), plus a sippy cup of milk throughout the day.

And then a 150ml bottle of cow's milk before bed.

He settles beautifully at night, and has a 2.5 hour nap after lunch. For us to get him back to sleep, he has to sleep with us. We like having him come into bed with us at 6.30am when he wakes for a cuddle, but all night sleeping is not for us. I recall reading somewhere that kids that wake at certain times of night are lacking in something, can anyone help?

I'm not too concerned....yet, but my instincts say something isn't quite right. I'm seeing my MCHN next week. Could he have an intolerance to anything? He's about 11kgs but I don't think he has put on much weight at all since his 12 month check.

Thanks for any and all suggestions!
