Still waking frequently for feeds

My baby is ebf and is gaining weight well. He's on the 75th centile. Eventhough he's almost 5 months he wakes very frequently at night for feeds. Between 10pm-8am he has around 4 feeds.

How do you put your toddler to bed?

Do you sit with them til they fall asleep? Leave them to fall asleep on their own, what exactly do you do? Feel like we’ve regressed he’s back to needing someone to sit with him til he falls asleep and if he wakes in the night I have to sit with him til he falls asleep?!

Won’t drink milk

My 7 month old won’t drink milk unless it’s from the breast. I left her with my mum for 6 hours and she didn’t drink anything the whole time. My mum offered her a bottle, straw cup and open cup. She tried warm and cold milk but she just wouldn’t take it. Does anyone have any advice?
