Sick & tired of night waking!

My 6.5 month old is exclusively breastfed. Trust me, I've tried to give him bottles of expressed milk but he point blank refuses...won't even try anymore, just pushes the bottle away and screams.

One night I actually went out with friends, I didn't drink, and when I got home at 1am my husband was shattered...said that baby had gone 8 hours with no milk and wouldn't accept the bottle no matter what he did. I really thought if I was out of the house and he had no other choice then he'd accept it but I guess we just have a very stubborn baby!

He's our 3rd baby, and the eldest 2 are great sleepers, but this one is STILL waking every 2/3 hours, hell, sometimes every HOUR, for milk 😩 he is being weaned but let's be honest, at this age food is just for fun and hardly going to fill him up!

I am exhausted, sometimes I get angry at him when he wakes and I shout or can get a little rough. 6.5 months of being the only one who gets up and feeds him is really taking its toll. I guess this is more of a rant than a question but please tell me I'm not on my own here?! Or that this will end very soon?! Sleep deprivation does not look good on me and I'm taking it out on everyone 😢
