Pediatrician,  's  Response
The only way to keep your baby from waking up at nights is to delay his night feed when he wakes up, by up to 5-10 minutes each night, till he stops waking up. For example, if he wakes up at 1.05 am, let him wait till 1.10 before indulging his desire; the next night, let him wait for 10 minutes; the next, 15 minutes, and so on. Gradually, he will stop waking up at night. It will be a tough 15 days for you, but if you are able to withstand his temper and bear his crying, he will be "cured" of this need to wake up at night within those 15 days.
