Dc is 18 months old and will still wake for milk during the night. Usually once or twice, but will have a drink and usually go straight back to sleep.
Hubby decided that they really shouldn't be doing this anymore and that they should be sleeping through by now (they have slept through twice in 18 months, both times when ill and really needed sleep!) so we tried cutting out the milk this week. We also switched from a sleeping bag to a duvet in the cot.
First night wasn't too bad, a bit of moaning but DC did settle eventually (after an hour and a half of me trying to calm them down while hubby slept through it all)
Second night was awful, I think between me and DC we got about 4 hours sleep and then I had work and DC was at nursery the next day. Hubby again slept through the whole episode!
I don't think DC is ready to give it up yet, I really don't mind if DC has it as a comfort, and frankly as I work full time, I'm pretty much up for anything to get them back to sleep so I can go back. I also know that quite often in the night I wake up for a drink so I don't see why it's unreasonable to expect a child to do it, however hubby is insisting we carry on, but not as happy to volunteer to get up in the night.
Any thoughts...
