14 month still having night feeds.

I need your help, my 14 month old is still having night feeds and is waking up during the night and won't go back to sleep unless he has his milk in his bottle.

I've very recently, split from his dad as he was controlling us both and emotional blackmailing me. (It's a long story)

He has a snotty nose, and a lovely cough as well as some teeth moving. He also has reflux.

So any advice is welcome.

While he has a snotty nose and cough and is teething with reflux, and wants a feed, I'd give it.

What would be the best method of getting rid of the night feed, and the bottle?

you need to do the nightfeeds first and worry about the bottle afterwards. I would slowly start to reduce the amount of milk in the bottle, until he is down to a couple of ounces - then replace with water. He'll soon stop waking up for boring water! How many night feeds does he have? Choose one (maybe one that's between 1 and 3am?) first, and once that's gone then pick another.

When he has consistently dropped night feeds, you can then replace the morning and evening drinks (if he has them) with a sippy.

Thanks.
I'll give it ago, when he's a bit better.
