My daughter didnāt start sleeping all night until she was about 13 months
More activity throughout the day and shorter naps might help.

I recommend the book babywise but itās a Christian book and it works for so many people I know. But I also was lucky cause mine came out a sleep and nap champ.
Right first take the oats out his bottle. Heās been on the planet for 4 months. Not many babies/children sleep through the night especially at his age. Heās supposed to wake regularly for bottles. Just heās a baby. Let him be just that

Pampers night time diapers, baby swaddled with a pacifier. Add rice to milk before bed. Make sure the baby is in a dark cool room. Sorry didnāt mean to sound like a list. Me and my other mom friends swear on those diapers contributing to sleeping at night.

My son didnāt sleep through a night until he was three and a half years old. Some kiddos wake up a lot. Some donāt. Try a white noise machine and a good swaddling blanket. Other than that it sounds fairly normal.
Your baby might not sleep through the night yet, thatās not abnormal but it really sucks, but some babies donāt sleep through the night until a year old. Try a bit bigger of a bottle just before bed and cross your fingers. Good luck.
Babyās wake up throughout the night. It happens. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a through-the-night sleeper that early.

Itās normal for a baby to wake at night. Thatās what they are suppose to do. Also nothing but formula or BF for the first 6 months and all signs of readiness. Definitely stopped adding anything to a bottle itās a choking hazard plus the babyās gut isnāt developed enough for it. My kid just started aleeping through the night that is most nightās and heās almost 5 Years old. Hell even I wake to pee. So why would you expect a 4 month old to sleep all night when most are starving.

I was told to use rice cereal because the baby may be allergic to oatmeal. I maybe wrong because things have changed since my children were young. Babies seem
to sleep good during the day and wake up a lot a night. He/she will adjust when ready. Until then you sleep when the baby sleeps if it means you nap during the day than thatās what you will have to do. There are toys you can put on their carrier or swing that make music and are colorful that may keep baby awake. Until then you will have interrupted sleep. Also as stated in other comments try and keep the baby awake more during the day and especially near bed time. Also a warm bath before bed time may help. Good luck. Just remember all of us with children have been through this.

DO NOT PUT OATMEAL IN YOUR BABIES BOTTLE!!! Jesus christ!!! Nothing BUT FORMULA OR BREASTMILK IN BOTTLES LADIES! Think about it.

This is 100% normal, they digest quickly & waking frequently lowers their risk of SIDS. Adding rice/oatmeal to his bottle will upset his belly & is a choking risk. There isnāt a fix, all you can do is wait.

Thatās a typical baby. Some find their routine early and some are up thru the night.
How you feed your baby is your choice. I just want to say cereal in the bottle donāt fill up baby- it will act as a filler causing more hungerā¦ It takes away from the nutrients from the formula- the stuff babies bodies can break dwn easily. Just bc it says it on the bottle does not mean baby is absorbing those nutrients. If your giving cereal just give a small bowl of cereal mixed with baby juice-a very small amount of the cereal and juice- I did this. My babies ped told me too. It helps with constipation issues. Do it once a day as babies last meal.
I fed food to my babies early after they wanted full bottles around a month. +cereal in the bottle is a choking riskā¦ I am very aware many moms swear by doing this but their are too many factors contributing to the issues tour talking about with it and the choking does and has happened many times.

Start a consistent bedtime routine is you havenāt and stick to it. If baby wakes up at night, do not interact. Do the business you need to do without talking or much eye contact, keep the lights dim. Once heās done eating, then itās right back down to sleep again. Also, see if he will start settling himself if he wakes up. He should be able to go longer stretches without needing to eat now. Fussing is different than crying and itās ok to let babe fuss and try to settle themselves back down.
Routine is key and consistency. But itās a babyās survival instinct that makes them wake up during the night. Cereals in a bottle can be a choking hazard. Pleas consult a pediatrician and feed cereals with a spoon.
You donāt, theyāre 4 months old. Theyāre still trying to get used to being outside of you. But if you want to try something to help them sleep better, maybe try a sound machine?

My son didnāt start sleeping through till he was about 17 months. Itās part of being a parent itās tiring but you just have to accept it you canāt force them. Definitely donāt but stuff in his bottle like not at 4 month I certainly wouldnāt feed at that age unless directed by the dr or a professional you could hurt your baby.

All babies are different. Youāre the closest person to your baby. As long as baby is having lots of wet nappies and poops every day, because of being on the bottle, is healthy then you do you and baby.

I must have gotten lucky because my first two slept through the night around 4 months.
Mine slept 12 hours a night straight through from 2 weeks old so Iām not much help if baby has never slept through the night, but around 3 months when he started waking to eat in the night the pediatrician suggested I add 2 formula scoops of oatmeal infant cereal in his bedtime bottle to help keep him full through the night. He went back to sleeping 12 hours a night when I added that into his last bottle. He slept 10pm-10am straight through from 2 weeks old. Shake very well and use a fast flow nipple. Itās not enough to be a choking hazard as it doesnāt thicken it that much and there is no need to modify the nipples at all.

i think telling the poor exhausted woman she shouldnt have had kids is bang out of order guys. we all know babies dont come with manuals, and weve all been given bad advice by well meaning family members. All you have to say is baby is too young to digest solids or to sleep thru, try again in a few months. The bad mother shouts are seriously uncalled for.

4 months is still pretty young especially to be adding anything to his bottle. Their little tummies are either just being able to handle purĆ©e or depending on the baby arenāt ready for it. heās going to wake up for a feeding , then sleeping through the night is not a definite. My 14month Old sometimes does but most of the time heās up 1-3 times 
at 4 months they also go through a growth spurt which causes them to eat more. Youāll just have to get used to not sleeping as much as before you became a mom.

My daughter is 9 months rarley does she sleep right through even tho she eats so much solids through the day my son was 2 when he started sleeping through x
If you donāt already, getting a schedule is a huge help! I like the āMoms on Callā book/methods and we try to implement it as much as possible for our 2.5 month old. She still often wakes 2-3x a night to eat but she is a little younger than yours, but even the past few weeks of us following that routine has helped a lot with getting her waking up after a longer chunk of time (sleeps 830p-230a, 3a-6a on a good night). Also, we really like the Nested Bean sleeper, it seems to help her self soothe better if she is just restless. Hang in there momma, I know itās hard but it will hopefully pass soon!
Heās too young to be sleeping through the night. Also giving him oats at 4month old is not right. I donāt know which peadatrician approved of it but for my son the doctor didnāt allow any solids until he was close to 6 months before that he was bf exclusively. Only after 5th month does the doctor allow you to start mild foods like rice cereals once a day. So please check with your pead if giving him oats is right so young.

4 months is a bit young to sleep through the night. But Start a routine. And stick to it. My son was only waking 1-2 times a night by that age and by 6 months was sleeping through the night.

My Daughter is 13 months, she still wakes up 2-3 times a night for feedings, more if sheās teething or going through a growth spurt.
Babies dont really sleep thru the night until their abit older than 4 monthsā¦ feeding him more than just breastmilk/formula can stretch his tummy and eat more than usualā¦ plus feeding them before theyāre 6 months can mess the babies tummyā¦ the first 6 months should only be breastmilk or formulaā¦

When my little ones wake up in the middle of the night I shoved a pucky in their mouth worked wonders
Some people prefer to feed whenever the baby is hungry- I took two months off of work so that I could develop a good schedule with my little one. Heās 2 months and usually eats 3-4 hours during the day and can go anywhere from 9pm-12am to 5am-7am in the morning without feeding or waking up except a brief moment
Most 4 month olds donāt sleep through the night as for the oatmeal i put a little in there bottle at 4 months
What the fuck. Seriously just what the fuck.
We have an almost 3 month old and we do his last feeding at 1130 at night and then he doesnāt eat again until 630/7am. When he wakes up Iāll go in quietly and change him, give him his pacifier and he usually falls back to sleep. We are also trying to get his routine more set as I go back to work in a couple of weeks. He eats 5-6oz at every feeding (he loves his food 
) and that seems to help.
Not a 4 month old. Lol. Welcome to motherhood.

There is a four month sleep regression. A baby this young is not going to typically sleep through the night. Cereal this young will likely cause a belly ache which means even less sleep. Just remember this is a short time in your childās life.
