ds shows no signs of stopping although it is getting shorter to between 6.30 & 8pm. Is this normal? I'm sure by 4 months that dd wasn't like this but can't remember. Ds is also a bottle refuser so it's all down to me. I would love to be able to read dd a story and put her to bed again but ds having none of it.

Any hope?

DS was still cluster feeding at 5 months. He started going from 8pm-2am (sob!), but the feed did get shorted and shorted until it was a normal feed iyswim.
He was also a bottle refuser until 7 months. I was planning to return to work when he was 8 months, so a month before I started getting others to give him the odd bottle to get him used to it. He has never accepted one off me, but after a few days of tears he did happily take a bottle off everyone else, so by the time he started nursery he was fine with it. I was assured by the LLL group I went to that it was all completely normal!!
