Sleep regression??

Question

Is this it? My lo is 5 m and he was such a great sleeper now he is waking up in the middle of the night for a bottle 😭 it’s not so bad but I’m tired!!!! He was sick with a cold and cough for like a week and half so idk of that messed up how schedule but he has not gone back to sleeping the whole night! He would be in bed by 11 the latest and wake up at 7-8 am I’m so sad and tired I want him to not wake up for a bottle 😭
He sleeps in his crib and is formula fed idk any suggestions!! Please help

Answer

It doesn’t really sound like a regression to me if he’s only waking up once. He could be going through a grown spurt and need the extra milk. It’s not recommended to try to sleep train during sleep regressions because they are already going through a lot of changes that are causing the regression so it will make sleep training even harder. 
There’s also no such thing as being old enough to not need night feedings. If baby is waking up hungry at night, they need to be fed; it doesn’t matter how old they are. They will naturally drop night feedings when they no longer need them. You could try to push for more milk during the day so that he hopefully gets the calories he needs, but if he’s still hungry at night he needs the bottle.
