5 years old baby
Answer: Dear at 7 months more of semi solids will help him get off this habit. It is also recommended to stop using pacifiers at the age of 1 year so I would say try and increase the intake of food for your baby it could be happening due to hunger or his apetite is increased. I believe the problem should be resolved once you increase the food quantity you have been giving. Hope it helps.

Question: My 13 months old son wakes up many times in the night , i get very tired feeding him...how can i make him sleep whole night without feeds?
Answer: Try to give less liquid food during night because it is easily digestible.
Give some solids and put him to sleep.
Especially avoid milk before bed. They may pee a lot at night. And feels hungry soon.
Also make him understand the difference between night and day by introducing dim light in room during night.
Thanks kalpana. I do give him some semi solid food at 8pm & also b feed him well before putting him to bed. Yet he wakes up 3-4 times at night but does not feed.. only suckles and falls back to sleep.
