Feeding regiment: Your child should have uninterrupted sleep for 6 hrs at this age now. So try to space his feeds at night time for 6 hrs: 00.00-06.00, so you would have some sleep at night. Continue to feed through the day every 3-4 hrs.

Stop night bottle: Just stop. If he wakes up during the night, go to him, make sure he is ok, but do not pick him up. It may take 3-4 nights, but then youll be able to get some rest.
