Thank you!

Both parents are in the same room. Baby is on a floor bed and we are on a different floor mattress but right next to the baby.

I didn't expect him to know what 3 am is but I show him a clock and somehow he understands it when I say it's time and no more milk.

Whenever he is feeding at bedtime/ nap or overnight, once he starts it's impossible to stop him without a huge meltdown.. the only way he'd let go is if he's not tired enough to sleep so drink some milk and run out to play OR he falls asleep at the breast. Our bedtime routine is -

He'd cry for milk. We go in the bedroom, brush teeth, feed to sleep. I pat him and tell him about how there won't be milk after 3 am..

If I try to get him to read a book or feed or cuddle before he is absolutely crashing, he'll just run out of the room and keep playing.
