my son wakes up every hour in the night .. even though now he is 2 years . i was feeding him in the night before... now I have stopped... instead I'm keeping him in cradle whole night and pushing it in case he wakes up. now it's been more than a week that I stopped night feeding but still he wakes up every hour... is it because of practice or do I need to look for some other problem. Can someone guide me... I'm loosing sleep from more than a week now... also he has cold . but I don't think that will cause him to wake every hour

Accepted Answer

sleeping pattern in small children changes from time to time but will improve with increasing age of the child 
you have to just see for any environmental factor which is affecting the sleep like temperature variations as well as the child might be having some digestion problem or breathing difficulty due to nasal blockage has to be looked into.
if the growth of the child is proper do not worry much about the sleeping pattern of the child as it always improve with time
you can increase the physical activity during the daytime as well as avoid more sleeping time during the day time and this will help in improving the night time sleeping time 
will improve see for any local disturbance

so Basically it is the addiction of cradle then I think you should stop using it now you should make your child sleep on bed now so started from the day slowly gradually once your child gets used to it your trouble will be sorted it is not about milk or hunger that it means just a addiction  to be who is the and slept in credit you know how comfortable kids are so you have to get rid of that habit

Answer

U Give formula feeding to the child during the night time when your child is demanding for a feed since you quit breastfeeding that’s the best thing that you could have done at this time so that’s a very good step that you took but maybe your child is still looking forward for something so give buffaloes milk or powdered milk to the child during the night time and put your child to sleep or water this is going to help and gradually the habit is going to change and also give milk to your child before your child goes to sleep
