With my first, he was an extremely lazy nurser and a bad sleeper. I was feeding him expressed milk and since he was taking a bottle anyway, thought we'd try formula at night. It didn't make a lick of difference. He's about three months old, right? Both of my boys went through long stretches of waking every two hours and neither slept decent stretches until almost a year old. Have you tried a different sleep position? I know it's best to put him on his back, but maybe another position would be more comfortable? Or some white noise? I feel your pain -- having two "bad" sleepers myself, I know how awful it is :-( It’s a myth that formula will help a baby sleep longer.
