my daughters 7months and like your son wakes for 3bottles in the night...and also has loads of food in the day time...not sure how to get her out the habit of waking for bottle tho! x
my son is also 13 months old and also wakes up 3 times a night. he wakes up for a bottle but i give him water or squash instead. health visitor says he will eventually think 'buggar this i aint waking up just for that'! lol but i find it hasnt worked. ive tried everything and cant get anything to work. i think some babies just like to make sure their mum is still nearby and is comforted when they see us. sorry i cant be of any help but i thought id share my experience and let you know u are not alone with this one lol. x
Ree0518 - Maybe try offering plain water rather than squash, as maybe the squash is still interesting enough to wake up for?
I've no idea on pursuading them to sleep through - Toby still wakes in the night at 2 1/2 but it doesnt really bother me as he's in with me anyway. The only thing I can think of is a book called the no-cry sleep solution which really worked for my sister. I've started to try it with toby, but everytime we start to work on his sleep he gets ill, or starts teething, and we go right back to the beginning
My youngest is 14 months... She sleeps through, has done since 3 months old.
Do you demand feed, both my kids got 4 hourly and then were onto breakfast, lunch, dinner!
They stopped drinking out of bottles at 11/12 months and get there milk with breakfast and for supper!
There's no need for toddlers to be getting bottles of milk!
