Not giving formula at night time
Has anyone else been told by HV not to give baby milk in the nights anymore and only offer water? I was told this and I’m quite surprised as never heard of this before? Baby is not taking bottles fully in the day and I was still advised to only give milk in the day now and not the night?

Bad advice. Night weaning from milk isn’t advised until 12-18m and water should only be given in small amounts with meals usually.
If I did that my little one would never have enough milk. He's a fussy, distracted little snacker in the day. I'm pretty relaxed about it. They're still little, if they want milk at night then I don't get why thats an issue unless it's constant like mine 🙈
@Rebecca same here. She went months without a night feed but since 6 months has been waking hungry and it is the only way to get her intake up 😅 she only has 1 usually around 2-3am. Plus I find it helps to get her to go back to sleep otherwise she gets distracted practicing her new skills 🤦🏼♀️
