He is doing it just to derive satisfaction not for nutrition so keep him clinger to you without feeding too .Give a thick food as last meal like halua . He will be full & will not wake up often .

Hi,
Give him complementary food 5-6 times/day. Give him a rice based diet at 5-6 pm with ghee and another light tiffin or snacks before going to bed. If his tummy is full, he will sleep better.
