Hello

My little one has an amazing appetite for which I am extremely grateful but he still has between two and three 225ml bottles of Nido after bedtime before breakfast. The sisters always lecture me at his well-baby visits that he should be sleeping through and I must go cold turkey to get him out of the habit but he genuinely seems to be hungry.

I try to add 'filling' food to his meals at night like pasta or potatoes but it doesn't seem to be be helping. Even if he has a big bowl of porridge for supper he still wants milk during the night.

He is a very energetic child and doesn't stop, especially now that he is walking, so I know he must be burning energy as soon as it comes in.

All in all he only drinks between 900ml and 1125 ml of Nido a day.

Can I continue to give him the bottles at night or is there something I should change in his diet so help him sleep through and not get hungry till breakfast.

Example of Daily Meal Plan:

Breakfast: cereal
Snack: 225ml bottle of Nido
Lunch: cooked meal with chicken/mince/fish and fresh vegetables
Snack: jar of purity fruit 200ml
Dinner: cooked meal with chicken/beef and vegetables/pasta or purity 200ml, fruity yogurt, fresh fruit and a generous handful of otees
He also occasionally has a boudoir biscuit as a treat in the afternoon.
Bedtime: 225ml bottle of Nido

Thank you
