I put Rylee on formula from about 10 months - in the last couple of weeks her sleeping has improved - the best has been last night she was unsettled till about 10 pm but then slept through until 5.20 am (so she went from 7 pm till 5.20 am without a feed) - this is the longest ever. I think previously IMO she had been waking for comfort feeds but now she knows she won't get booby anymore she only wakes when she really needs it....so a behavioural issue - now I don't want to say formula babies sleep better - I have heard all kinds of stories but my mum kept saying to me to just put her on formula and she will sleep better but I dug my heels in as I really wanted to keep bfing for as long as possible - but in Rylee's case she seemed to need booby for comfort. ONe of my girlfriends bubs is fully breastfed and she sleeps 12 hours a night so it is all just dependent on the individual bub.
Anyway, not that I have really helped you but just another angle I guess. These bubs are quirky little people aren't they.
