can't go by me. Son had multiple allergies - asthma - other things. Had a very special rare formula which was all he could eat. He wasn't that hungry during the day but woke up ravenous around 2am. You do what you have to do. Eventually he could eat real food and began to sleep through the night. He was always an early riser. 4am was up and at'em time. Somehow I survived until he was old enough to be up by himself. Fortunately he was always a careful child. Some books and toys in his room and some dry cereal to snack on managed to keep him amused til I got up at 6. No, he could not have all his toys in his room - dust etc.

My advice. just roll with it. Do what you are comfortable doing. There is no "right" way. No one solution is the one that "always" works or lasts forever. Just when you think you've got it solved things change.
