Water at Night?

Tara

My pediatrician said my son is capable of sleeping through the night but that each baby decides when they want to. I said my concern with attempting sleep training again was that he might be hungry, although I really think it’s more separation anxiety. He said he does not need to eat over night anymore, especially if I give him enough solids during the day.

He told me to give him water if he wakes at night. He said then I’ll know if he’s thirsty or just wants me. Has anyone done this??

I’m planning to transition to formula soon so I’m not going to do water until after that as it’ll be too many changes at once. But I’m curious if anyone else has tried this?

I breastfeed during night so it’s been hard to wean because I don’t watch clock or know how much he even takes.
