It is not appropriate to recommend special foods or recipes for nighttime feeding of a 6-month-old baby. For a 6-month-old, the best nighttime feeding is breast milk (if breastfeeding) or the appropriate follow-on formula that your doctor has recommended (if formula-feeding).
Adding solids to a baby who's just starting them, or trying heavier/thicker "night formula" recipes, doesn't improve sleep and can cause digestive upset instead. At 6 months, babies waking at night is a normal part of development.
Current pediatric practice: use only breast milk or baby's usual formula for nighttime feeds — don't add solids. If you have concerns about nighttime feeding patterns, talking to your baby's pediatrician is the healthiest approach.
