    Heres another idea.. do you think he could be waking up at night because he's teething and just having a booby feed as it is a comfort for him? Reason being, Jesse has just started waking of a night too.. his first tooth came up abuot 3 weeks ago and his second has just shown itself yesterday. Before that he would sleep from 7.30am until 6.30am sometimes even 7.30am but over the past month or so he has woken once or twice at night. I usually just give him his dummy and he moans for a bit and goes back to sleep.

    Thats just an idea.. if he use to sleep through fine and he is now having big meals each day and is satisfied from them, maybe its just teething?

    But in saying all that if you wanted to try a formula feed, normally it will satisfy them for longer than booby. Jess has been formula fed since 1.5 weeks old and the first night we gave him formula he slept 6 hours straight. Prior to that he was only sleeping half hour lots. So sure maybe give that a try, but if hes still waking up then maybe it isnt because hes hungry?

    Best of luck!
