Help are we going backwards?? DD waking for bottle

[Nicolaplus1]

My DD is 13 month old and over the last few nights she is waking earlier and earlier for her bottle!!

She used to have it around 6.30am but then is was 5, then 4.30 and this morning she woke at 2.30 am for it i tried t get her to go back to sleep but 1hr 20 mins later it gave it her an then he went streight back to sleep!!

She is having c&g 1 yr plus so i thought this was just a drink and not actually to fill her up.

I feel like at his rate we will be shortly back to night feeds
Is this something he will just stop?? is it a growth spurt??

Am wonering if i am doing the right thing giving it her.

Any advice apreciated

I would say try not to make a decision based on the last few nights. If things were ok before, maybe this is just a blip? Is the cold waking her? Teething? Is she coming down with a cold and needing the comfort? (The possibilities are endless). However I'd say try not to make any decisions just yet, but see if it improves again over the next few days?

If it doesn't improve, maybe try cool boiled water and a bit of sleep training? Maybe, if comfortable with that?

Try and give her more for tea?

dd did this regularly, and we tried a combination of things - going with it for a week or so, if it didnt improve we gradually replaced some of the milk with water until we were more water than milk, this meant that dd ate more in the day so woke up lass at night, and she didnt like it anyway - and then we moved to coming downstairs after bathtime to have her bottle by the fire/on the sofa and then p to bed leaving bottle downstairs so she knew it wasn't for upstairs (we explained this to her first).

it does feel endless, it does feel like forever, and you have my sympathies. We never did sleep training like controlled crying, because by 5:30am dd had had most of her nights sleep, so wasn't tired and was therefore more likely to stay awake and fight for what she wanted. the path of least resistance was be to give her what she wanted so we all got some extra sleep, as sleep in ultimately what is important in our hosue.

I do have to say that dd is now 2.4 and I cannot remember the last time she woke in the night for a bottle, it just stoped, and she now sleeps 7-7 which was previously unheard of.

Good luck

might just be a temporary thing, but I am having hard time with DS now 2 waking up and asking for drinks, so I wish I had stopped way back then! I would give her a couple of days, make sure not poorly or teething. But don't get into the habit! It's obviously easier said than done at 2.30am.
