It's always touch and go...

There are days that little Andrew would sleep through the night and there days he will wake up a couple of times. Sometimes he needs milk, sometimes he just want extra attention.

On good nights that he sleeps through, once his buddy (i.e. pacifier/soother) fell off he will not need it back. On some nights, he will need his buddy to sooth himself back to sleep and will not require any patting or milk. Some nights will require extra patting. Worse case scenario is when he refused to go back to sleep after giving him his buddy and lotsa patting, and he will starts crying for milk.

Obviously my favourite nights are the nights he would sleep like an angel until the next morning.

I'm trying a new routine. Because I realised lately if he has his last meal (baby porridge) even as late as 8pm, he will wake up in the middle of the night. Sometimes he needs milk to go back to sleep. So today I'm letting him have his porridge as his second last meal of the day, then give him his bubble bath and play a bit before giving him his last bottle of the day.

I'm trying to see if he will sleep through his way. Because I wonder if he wakes is really due to hunger or is it something else, like teething that could wake a baby or keep the baby up all night.
