to consider Gaffer taping Dd's bottle to her hand?

[BeaHededd]

Or tying it to the bars of her cot like a hamsters bottle so I can have a full nights sleep for the first time in 19 months

why does she NEED a bottle in the night?

yanbu i can see it in mothercare in the near future.

When DD went through that stage i got rid of the bottles, took a few night but i was worth it in a long run

Aw if she's 19mo then do night weaning and get yerself some kip :)

been there!

What kind of bottle does she use in the day? When DD was having a bottle at night she just had ger tommee tippee non leak sippy cup in bed with her and she would find it and drink it in the night. It was cows milk and it was always fine - she drank it before it went off.

And DD1 kept up her overnight milk until she was almost 3. She would drink a LOT! Sometimes they get thirsty, just like we do.

I wish she didn't, I have tried every trick in the book but she still wakes up at around two AM.
DD 1 slept through from 12 weeks and have done nothing differently.
It probably doesn't help that we are all in a tiny bedroom at the moment.

I've finally managed to get 17 month old DS off bottles and sleeping through. I just stopped giving him bottles. I offered him milk in a cup with a free flow spout. He refused to drink it out of there. We had two bad nights and then he just accepted it and realised there was no point in waking up if he wasn't getting a bottle. I'm starting to feel human again!

It is a sippy cup but she always loses the bloody thing.
If she were in her own room I wouldn't hear her calling out to it "dottle".
It is only minutes but I am then awake, not a huge issue but was just pondering solutions

Sainsbury's do a glow in the dark sippy cup which is great.

What about a drop of Baileys before she goes to bed. Works wonders.

Disclaimer - this is a joke

i don't think she is thirsty, but it's become a habit.

Every child is diffrent, but i did the pick up put down method with DD and with ds stroked his face until he feel asleep again.

Ds3 is 13 months and we have the same problem, glow in the dark cup sounds like a good idea. I think he's using itas a dummy replacement. He's refused the dummy since he started teething and upped the bottles when tired.

Mchappypants can I thread hijack for a second and ask about this stroking their face to they go to sleep? If I do pick up put down or try stroking ds's nose or face or tummy etc he is so apoplectic at rage at being put down that it just infuriates him more. Is this what happens with everyone and they just persist with stroking through it, or or or what? I've always wondered because I can never get it to work with either of my two. Thank you - thread hijack over

blastoff my youngest is the same, doesn't like to be stroked, allthough hushing him sometimes works. he's never liked being held to sleep either.
