Baby food at 6 months

Hi, my son is now 6 months old and his daytime feeding schedule is perfect, but the only issue is that he wakes up around 5 am at night and wants a full bottle, which is making him a bit chubby.
... How can I best handle this?

    Is she overweight according to the pediatrician or just in your own opinion? Usually, when they start crawling or walking, they’ll come back into proportion because they burn more calories than they take in.

    According to the doctor, we do need to keep an eye on it. He's not at the maximum yet, but his growth curve seems to be heading that way.

    Phew, what a struggle. I get that you find the night bottle difficult. It's indeed tough on your body, but also on your night's rest. Maybe you can make the bottle a little less full each night? That way it goes gradually. Sometimes it's just a bit of an adjustment for the baby. Do let me know how it goes.
