Xp: sleep training cold turkey

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months
So ds2 will be 6 months on the 12th he can roll from back to belly but not back yet. We are currently napping in the swing swaddled( barely fits) from 12-230/3 and again if we are home from 530-615 goes down for the night at 745-8 his morning nap is all over the place bc I have to take ds to preschool and whatnot so he cat naps in the car but wakes as soon as I open door. We use the magic sleep suit at night and it worked for about a month he was waking once at 3 am to eat then back down till 8 , and all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore- I put him down at 730 last night bc he skipped his late nap and he was up at 10-130-330-6- and up for the day around 810 the thing is everytime he wakes he wants to eat, I cut down the bottles to 3/4 oz at night bc he gets PLENTY to eat during the day . He will not go back to sleep without a bottle( a paci won't do) so I'm thinking it's become a habit. tonight I was thinking of ditching the suit and going cold turkey with just a sleep sack for warmth and seeing how he does, then slowly weaning him from the swaddle in the swing ( that's really the only substantial nap he takes ) .. Any thoughts? Sorry this was so long Im just trying to justify this in my head- with my first being such a great sleeper I'm at a loss..

    You can try sleep training but if it was me I would wait for couple of weeks because it can be a growth spurt and your LO could be really hungry.

    Isn't there a 6 month growth spurt? I'd make sure that's not the case before cutting feedings. As for sleeping, I got nothing.

    Sorry I was so confusing ladies - I got a different paci today and I think he needs to just be sucking- he's already being watched for weight gain at ped bc he's 23 lbs

    I wish my LO woke up every 3 hrs. She wakes up every hour minimum. I think weaning from both is to much. Tackle one first. However, if he's eating, he may be going through a growth spurt and need the extra food.

    Well, I wouldn't think so except that she emphasized that he gets plenty to eat during the day and she thinks he only needs to snack at the MOTN feeding, so I was curious.
    Pretty sure @sing2phins point is that correct punctuation is your friend... and would have made this post a heck of a lot easier to read.

    Lurker here, but @Chatterbug6917 - just because your baby is 100% in weight on the growth chart, doesn't mean he doesn't need to eat several times during the night. My middle child was 20lbs at 4months old. Babies are big sometimes :)  That's why they make the top of the growth chart!
      If it were me, I'd change the swaddling during nap if you want to, not the feedings. Babies RARELY (won't say never) wake up and eat out of habit. They're pretty good at self-regulating when they're that little. Good luck!
