my ds is 20 months old and has been sleeping through without drinks since 12 months over the last 3 weeks he has been waking wanting a bottle through the night. i have not give him the bottle as this is just going backwards. his room is pitch black which has never bothered him. do they start to become scared of the dark at a certain age. because when i go in his room to tell him he cant have a bottle he seems comforted that i am in the room with him then cries when i leave and close the door. he is not cold and isnt teething. i would appreciate any advice from you wise mothers {smile}
