My 8 month old ds can only go to sleep by bottle or rocking. I am now aware what a bad habit I have created as he is waking every 2 hours through the night for a bottle. I am completely shattered and really know he does not need the milk as he only has 1-2ozs then falls back to sleep. I have asked advice from a few people and most seem to say cc is the way forward.
My sis-in-law recommended water in bottle which I tried and resulted in over an hour of screaming until I gave in and gave him milk.
He is a really cuddly boy and the day after I honestly felt him having trust issues with me....Can anyone please help, I really dont want to continue like this but really dont want to do cc. Will he just grow out of it? (wishful thinking)
Daytime naps are fine and he loves his cot we have never had him in our bed.
