Depends what age he is? If he's very young and sleeping through I would dream feed ( feed him while he is sleeping) at about 11pm . My little one started doing that about 4mths and I solved it by giving extra hungry baby milk and also starting on a tiny bit of baby rice mixed with milk as a 'meal' during the day. If he is very tiny tho don't give baby rice.
