My son is 6 months old now and he is bottle-fed. Whenever he sleeps, he asks for the bottle to fall asleep. If I don’t give him then he sleeps but soon after 10mins, he cries in his sleep to give milk. He drinks not use the bottle just for sucking. I tried to feed him a good amount of milk before going to sleep but he only takes max 50ml. What and how to do?!
