17mths toddler keeps waking up at night

My 17months toddler has the same issue, very consistent to wake up every 3 hours to ask for milk at night. Usually I gave her dinner at around 7:15pm, then will try to give her last milk feed before 8pm, then send her to bed at 8:15pm. Some people told me give full feed may make her stomach bloated (then she will feel more hungry as her stomach is enlarged), and some say if no full feed will make her wake up at night.. really confused on what to do to give her the correct routine....Any mommy facing this and can advise on the above? #advicepls #1stimemom #firstbaby

every baby is different.my older one started to wake for milk 1 year old altho he was a fantastic sleeper and didn't need milk since 5 months. so we just give. younger one is now 16 mths hasn't shown such signs yet and does not wake for hunger. u could also try give a dream feed ie while she's still asleep (before she wakes),and before you go to bed 10 plus 11pm. ultimately what I've learnt is if the little one is fed sufficiently in daytime, really don't need milk in the night (yes may need to 'train') so perhaps can also review if the daytime she is given enough food.
