To give the baby a bottle.in her cot?

[GoldPlatedNineDoors]

Really dont know whether its ok.

She woke at 5.30, hungry I thought, but still tired. Too tired to get her up, but I didnt think she would go back to sleep without milk.

WIBU to fill a bottle and take it in for her and let her just do it herself and ahem go back to bed ?

She is 13mo. Oh, and fwiw, I know I should be weaning her onto a cup for milk (uses one for water) but its slowly happening.

I would at that age.

At 13 months I would.

I think at over a year old they are perfectly capable of holding their own bottle.

What happens if they fall asleep with the bottle in their mouth?

Oh, that was an actual question btw

It's been over a decade since I've done bottles! Honestly can't remember if the milk would trickle out or not.

Is it any sort of choking or inhaling risk? If not, then I don't see any problem with it.

I think I used to do this, you might have to change the sheet later though. Worth it for the extra sleep IMO

Phew. Thought it might have you clutching at the pearls but glad it hasnt. Fwiw it didnt work but looking at her now she seems a little under the weather (mmr jabs last tues).

We are up!

No idea if theres a choke risk but shes never ever fallen asleep.on a bottle so would be surprised if she did now.

So long as she can, why not?

I used to do this with ds at that age and we used to throw the bottle out of the cot so I used to wait for the thud so I knew he hadn't gone back to sleep with it in his mouth.
