Is she eating enought to sleep thru the night?

I know everyone says try to get her to eat more during the day, but I can't force feed her. She was barely eating anything and only depending on her formula. She is getting better at eating and she is on milk now. Tell me if you think what she eats in a typical day would still make her hungry at night.

Wake up at 7 - breakfast -1/4 cup oatmeal and 1 container stage 2 fruit, water and a handful of puffs

8:30 - 5 oz. bottle of milk 11:00- snack - 2 or 3 wagon wheels and some water 12:00 - 6 oz. bottle of milk

1:30 - snack - 1/4 piece of bread, puffs and some cheerios 3:30 - 5 oz. bottle of milk

5:30-6:00- dinner - some kind of veggies, bread whatever i can get her to eat

7-7:30 8 oz. bottle of milk this is a good day of eating. She usually eats less than this. Should this be enough to sustain her thru the night? Do you think it is out of habit or is she hungry? Is the formula more filling than whole milk. I am so sick of her waking up. If I knew it was a habit, I would let her cry more than I do, but I can't be sure. I try to feed her more before bed. Last night she had a good dinner and snacks before bed and then an 8 oz. bottle before bed. She was up more than ever to drink. 2 feedings. She drank 11 oz. in the middle of the night. Maybe it is a growth spurt or she is getting use to the milk. The waking up more has happened since she has been on full milk. input please. thanks Debbie

Answer:
i never that their eating habits helps with their sleep habits. you might want to see her pediatrician. her age depends mainly on how she should be sleeping during the night-without her age i can't advise you better than seeing her pediatrician.

my 3 kids had a problem with waking up through the middle of the night just to drink juice so because i didnt know this at the time, they would have sippy cups on the side of them and drink through out the night, now they all needed major and i mean MAJOR dental work on thier baby teeth. we solved this problem because the dentist told us it wasnt a joke, we had to let them whine through out the night even though we were hearbroken, but now it was all worth it because now thier adult teeth are coming and its all resolved, as for your problem i may not be able to help you if this answer isnt good enough.
