[quote=Anonymous]Our baby still not sleeping through the night.  He goes to bed at 7.30pm as part of a well-established bedtime routine without much fuss, but invariably wakes up around 12.30 pm and 3 am.  He appears to be hungry, which is why we have not "sleep trained" him to date... We was exclusively breastfed for the first 5 months, which we assumed might possibly be part of the reason he didn't sleep through the night.

However, at this point, we've started him on solid foods - baby rice, pureed carrots, broccoli - that kind of stuff, plus we've started giving him some formula in addition to only breastmilk, thinking that if he got enough calories during the day, maybe he could sleep all night.  He's a healthy weight, no medical issues.  At six months, we think it's about time he slept through the night.

I'm wondering if he might be waking up out of habit.  Should we start reducing the volume of his night feeds to get him out of the habit?  He refuses a pacifier, etc.  Anyone had any experience like this?
