18mnth old waking up for bottle

[JennyMorgan27]

a few wks ago my 18 month old daughter woke up about 1 am crying for a bottle, i tried to just put her back to sleep but she just keeped crying and i eventually gave in around 3am (i still had to get up for work and needed some sleep) but she is now doing it more often, not EVERY night but most! does this mean she's not getting something or enough? she eats well through the day and gets a bottle before bed of cows milk, should i still have her on formula to fill her better?

the more you realitate and give in the more she will wake up for a bottle my youngest son is now off bottles at bedtime becoz instead of giving him something he wanted i give him water and he hates water so eventualy he would go back to sleep, now its just the matter of getting him to sleep on his own as i am pregnant again and he has to have a coudle to go sleep or be in the car. she realy needs to come off the formula now she is ok to just have cows milk its stilll good for her

she is off the formula and i tried to not give in but there is only so long i can listen to her cry and for the sake of 15mins a night to give her a bottle i dont think its worth upsetting her so much! i am just worried she's lacking in something as she never used to wake up!

My 15 month old has also started doing this, having not needed a bottle in the night since 8 weeks old. I've also tried resisting but she will easily scream for over an hour whereas if I give her a bottle, she'll guzzle it down and go back to sleep. I figure it's some sort of weird growth spurt and as it's not every night (but still several times a week) I don't think it's become a habit thing. I intend to just go with it and hope it's a short lived phase. Hope the same applies to your situation.
